Dont give up people.
loz is right go for the FAA route, and I have heard of plenty of cases of students who were in your situation but when confronting the CAA with a FAA med 1 and plenty of hrs they may take a personal consideration, however you need to aim for some commercial postion over there and effectively have hrs in the 4digit area. Speak to the CAA and put forward your case, I am pretty sure if you pin a note on a few bulletin boards not just pprune you may get a reply from a student in a similiar position who is doing just that.
DON'T pack it in just yet.
O and in relation to the laser treatment, Be very careful plenty of airlines will not hire you due to the unknown long term effects of it. However once again the states is different and more flexible in relation to this. If I were in your situation I WOULD marry a yank, not kidding, and get my greencard.
