Yes, there is a US visa called H1-b this type of visa will allow you to work in US and lead to green card
. But it is very difficult to optain, especially if you are an aviation (pilot) candidate. If you switch your career to nursing or something in the medical field it is much easyer. It is a lot of paper work for the operators, and they don't want to deal with it. I would suggest that you stay at college with your F-1 visa as long as possible and instruct and build 1000 hour before using your OPT (optional practical training). There are a bunch of 135 operators in the US that need pilots. When you are using OPT you are legall to work anywhere in US,
so no problem. Once working there for a year they might help you out with the papers. The only problem is that you will get stuck with the company for several years 3-4 years flying small airplanes before getting your green card, but it is a good experience. I have actually heard small charter and corporate companies sponser h1-b visas to pilots, but those guys knew the chief pilot pretty well. It also cost money for the company to sponser you work visa.
I'm in the same situation as you are and have done some reasearch on this issue. I think it is eayer to get married
. BUT NOT AN OPTION FOR ME. Why not try FAR EAST (asia), the market is boming there.
Take care
