At wit's end.

I am an Indian National. I intend to join FSI on a J1 visa for acquiring CFI, CFII and MEI. I realise I will be allowed to work till 24 months and then I have to leave. I would like to work in US as a CFI for 2-3 years.

My question is simple, the answer to which I am assuming is not so simple. Can non-US Nationals work as CFIs in US? What are the possibilities of working as a CFI in US after the J1 expires? Can I apply for a visa change midway? If not, what kind of visa would I require to work as a CFI in US? How easy or difficult is it to comeby? What is the process? Any advice on this topic will be welcome.

Regards
Satdeep
