"If you want to do it in the US. you can start on the M1 visa, and do your private license +50 hours then go back to the UK for a vacation and change your visa to a J1 visa. That is no problem at all, as long as you don't have more than a PPL +50 hours,"
If only I had been smart enough to figure that little system out for myself as I was doing my training! Unfortunately I was not and completed my CFII on the M1 which didn't allow me to work afterwards, well not legally anyway!!
But it all kinda worked out in the end I suppose because I hung around with my girlfriend over here while I was studying the JAA ATPL distance learning course and as it turns out, we're getting married in September. So now that I'd like to go home, she won't let me!!!
