Am also intrested in this. I am currently in the US on a j-1 visa, doing flight instructing here. First I did all my training here in `07 and now I have been instructing in `08.
Next year im off back to Europe to convert and finish up to get my JAR frozen atpl.
Thing is, if its gonna be hard times getting into interviews(witch im afraid it will be..) with around 1000tt and most of it SE, than Id consider getting a work visa, come back, get multi engine instructor rating and keep instructing for some time.
Now I do not know alot about this, but I would imagine that showing up at the embassy with proof of getting job in the states from a company and a education witch I did in the states and that is only valid in the US, that I would be fairly qualified of getting a work permit...
Anyone?
