Hey BigGrecian,

To my knowledge to be eligble for the J-1 you can not have more than 100TT. Since you already hold the JAA IR I think you should be over this limit.

Maybe someone who knows more about US immigration could confirm this?

Also most professional flight training courses that are J-1 approved seem to come with all the licences from PPL to CFII and MEI - Expect to spend over 30K for this. (There are also some that exclude only the PPL) If you have other information please PM me.

Cheers,
Icer
