K-ENGINEER 130
If you can get anything done towards B1 on resettlement do it, when you come out you shouldnt have any problem getting work as a non certifying technician, 9 years experience means you should be be able to find your way around an aeroplane , be it a cessna 150 or a Boeing 747 ! It'll take you a couple of years work to get the relevant experience/worksheets to complete your licences, but theres plenty of work. We have been hiring guys from college because there dont seem to be the people around, and they have minimal experience, but all the bits of paper !!! which isnt a lot of use , you cant buy experience !!
