Hi all,

I am a 21 year old Norwegian who is off to the US in September to start my CPL-H training.
I am wondering whether anyone has had any experience on how to get a permit to work in the US. Will the authorities grant you a work visa if you get an offer from a helicopter operator(has it happened).
By the way, I am going over on a 2-year J1 visa so I can get experience flying as a CFI.
Also, I have applied for the DV02 Green Card lottery.
I've tried to search the web for information on this subject. However, I find it very difficult to come up with anything specific!!
I would appreciate any replies on this, especially from someone who has actually done this!
Pitch up, boys and girls!
Dan
