To get a heads up on jobs and requirements and such, sign up with a company called Air, Inc, run by Kit Darby. (UAL Captain)
The information is good and very accurate.
Cost is about a couple of hundred $ per year.
(No, I don't work for Air Inc, but got a free subscription from ALPA when I was furloughed.)
Also look into FCI.
They should both have web pages.
I came over to the US from Europe some years ago and have been climbing the ladder steadily. (Also fell down a few times)
Lots of hard work when you start out and you are competing with guys with more flying time and connections.
INS is a pain. Got kicked out once or twice.
Snuck back in via a oil tanker from the Middle-East. (Long story)
Now have my US Citizen ship. Get that as soon
as you qualify.
Good luck.....
