Why the hell would they when there is so many US CFI's who would give their eye teeth for a job. Presumably you have checked the US State Department website and have discovered that you must leave the country after expiration of your visa and any extensions granted. Presumably you also know from the same source that an employer would need to demonstrate that you possess a skillset which cannot be obtained by employing a US national. What is that skillset likely to be - you can fly an aircraft???????????
So stop fishing for angles here - you will not find any workarounds to a fairly rigid procedure. You have enough information to make your choice. The US FTO's have been honest with you by saying that any employment will be subject to a successful interview (and perhaps availability of a job and demonstration of a stellar training record would help).
So get on with it or enrol in an FTO closer to home. And to answer your question re 'what is GA' on another thread - google General Aviation - you really, really should know that.
I completely agree with what you said, I'm very new to all this & hence its taking me sometime to get used to this. I know life is not a bed of roses, we have to work very hard to in order to make it so.
My main question in this thread was that is there a definite timing in a day/week for an instructor or its totally up to the instructor & his students. Although it was answered early enough in this thread, so I dont demand anything more, but still if anyone can give me any more info, it would be great.
