[Help] Wants to be a CFI in US

[rigonanfm]

Good Day,

I recently contacted ATP Flying school through email about my case. They did not answer my questions directly (It might be automated.)

I am currently studying flying in the Philippines. By the time I finish my packaged flying time, I would have accumulated the following:

160 Hours of Flying Time
CPL with IR (Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines)
EP Level 4

I plan on continuing my studies in the US, and hopefully be a Flight Instructor.

I have prepared a list of questions so that you can address me properly:

1.) What steps should I make after I finish my current course?
2.) Will my hours be credited when I study in US?
3.) Will I need to get a separate FAA License to apply for a Flight Instructor Course Training?

Thank You!
