Question Qualifying and Working Stateside

Hello all, first post.

I am currently considering the best way to go about qualifying to be a pilot - a bit of a career change - my BA was in Politics!

My quandry is that my partner is American and we will probably be marrying in the not too distant future - making me eligible to work in the US.

I am looking at flight schools on the East coast and specifically the FAA professional pilot programs - from zero experience. Can anyone offer any recommendations or advice.

Also, I don't know if anyone will know the answer, but in terms of financing and employment, are US airlines biast against hiring non-US citizens even though I will be a permanent resident? What banks etc provide loans for this kind of venture?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Thanks
