flyhighspeed300,
If I get what you're saying right then you're thinking of going out to the states to get your JAA FI(r) rating and then work out in the states for 100 - 200 hours?
If I've got that wrong then ignore the following
If I got it right then I think there's 2 problems here:
1. I might be wrong about this but its worth you're checking - I think to instruct in the states you also need an FAA CPL and Flight Instructor Rating as well as your JAA one.
2. Unless you hold an American passport there is no visa that would cover you to do the FI course and then work in the States (whether paid or unpaid). The only visa that kind of covers this is if you go from zero to FI then you can work in the states for 1 month for every 3 months you were training, I believe upto a maximum of 3 months work.
Just something for you to check out before you make your decision to do it in the states or not.
