I have lots of non-US citizen friends who are FAA CFI/CFII and/or MEI. The US flying schools are so terrified about employment issue in U.S. and U.S. flying schools are not opening doors to foreign FI. Frankly speaking, shortage of FI in US is none of the foreign FI concern.
If US really wants to have million dollars flight training to Indian Nationals at fast pace and flying schools are willing to provide work VISA, I can provide you with a bunch of FAA qualified FIs (the best part is, they are not muslims)!

thornycactus,
Appreciate your input.....so there is actually a shortage of FI due to US stingent policy.
Can you elaborate more on the situation of flying schools in US.
Any ideas or suggestion friends for the reply left by 'lekp' as follows ......
There are some schools which sounds good on papers and in reality they brings bad experience second to none; with terrifying situations attached to it. (Bankcruptcy, grounded aircrafts due to maintenance and so on...)
