USA (again)

Hola Speedy -

Of course you can get your training done in the USA...
But even if the economy goes great in 3 years - don't hold your breath.
The USA has not given a visa for pilots since 1970.

I did that in the 1960s... But even I left after 1991 when things got bad.
You love USA - ok - but it is not a job paradise in aviation/airlines.
There are many unemployed pilots in USA.
They would never change their visa laws with that situation.
I love USA too and still visit for shopping - prices are low...

You must be a USA citizen or hold a "Green Card" beforehand.
Some get married to get a Green Card - then get ruined for divorce settlements.
To get a visa, you cannot qualify as a pilot.
They offer visas for other qualifications i.e. medical, or science research.

Try Canada - they are open to immigration.
Some South American nations are more lenient too for visas.

Buenas suerte, Che...

Happy contrails
