J1 Granting a CPL

Hi all,

I already hold a Canadian CPL and want to convert to FAA, do a CFi, IR, and then CFII. I am a British Citizen and have been told by FTO's that I cannot get a J1 Visa because I hold more than a PPL. I`m gonna be spending more hard earned cash doing this than I would simply doing the FAA commercial - where's the sense in this? does anybody know a way round this or loophole? Obviously I only want the J1 so at least I have an opportunity to look for work following the training as an instructor. Have written to the consulate and FTOs and they keep passing the buck - ?? Any ideas please?

Cheers
