it might be of any help.
getting a job in the US- tough luck, you will compete against hundreds of pilots with 10000000s of hours. last ALPA magazine talked about 2600 pilots on furlough from various ALPA carriers, plus many others from differnt outfits.
after being married:
- before you wait for the green card, you may apply for a work authorization. at least back in '95 i got one, then after all the interviews with the INS i got the green card 6 months later. 2 years after that i apllied for the naturalization, hence got the US passport.
regarding taxes:
- once married and getting the US resident status, you are required to file combined income taxes with the IRS, regardless where you work or live.
if you would stay in europe, you still pay taxes with the IRS, but there is a foreign income credit that is a bout 87000$/year. add some other eligible credits and you could earn as much as 120000$/year as foreign income and not pay a dime to the IRS. though you still have to file.
my advice is to stay put, just based on the US jobmarket.
cheers and good luck
