I have many friends (Christians) who are well qualified FAA CFI, CFII and/or MEI. And they speak perfect Queen's English, Melayu, Hindi, Tamil, Mandarin and etc.

The problem is we are neither US Citizen nor US PR! They love to work in US, however, these US flying schools and clubs are unwilling to apply US work permit for them!

George Apostolopoulos, Chief Pilot in Sierra Academy of Aeronautics replied that they will not sponsor work permit for employment. And the main reason is 'troublesome'! They must be thinking that foreign instructors holding FAA instructor rating are terroists!

Shortage of flying instructors in US is an excuse. They are ways to solve! It all depends whether the US flying schools or clubs are willing to sponsor US work permit or not!

Please note: We are do not come from muslim country.
