Questions on relocating from UK to USA and potential pitfalls…
Dear All
I’m hoping that you’ll be willing to take some time to share your views on some questions I have. I’m considering relocating to Florida, to further my flying career from the UK. It would be my aspiration to fly for a charter company or small airline flying to the Islands etc.Therefore being in a position to enjoy the Floridian climate and fly commercially without having to relocate all across the USA working for the regionals.
I completed all of my flight training in the USA and have FAA ratings and licenses. It would be my intention to work as CFI until I had gained the required experience to be eligible to apply to suitable employers. I can (hopefully) apply for a green card through marriage to my American wife.
My questions are; As I'll be a non US citizen would employers be discouraged by this? In addition to my first question, I have a Masters Degree in Business Administration, but do not hold a Bachelors or Associates degree, would this discourage potential employers? The third concern I have is that by time I have the green card and experience to apply for the type of work I mentioned, I would be nearly forty years old , again do you feel this would be an issue for employment?
I would really appreciate any feedback,
Regards
