Good Luck
I work for a "legacy carrier" and have flown with many foriegn pilots. Most end up getting married in the states or get residency. Not sure where things stand now. It all depends on the hiring cycle, i.e., need for qualified pilots. But the fact is we haven't hired for a least 7 years and have 2000+ on furlough.
