Earlier post rather vague, sorry.
galaxy flyer - is your comment about working in a foreign country directed at me or rigonanfm?
I reread my post a moment ago and realized it's not super clear. I could have been clearer in saying "Hey, rigonanfm, you might want to consider Australia because there is a genuine shortage of flight instructors there, and the government is willing to issue work permits for foreigners to instruct there. That's NOT going to happen in the US, but Australia has the benefits of being both closer to the PI and an English-speaking country. Good luck."
"I've inquired about being a part-time, seasonal GLIDER instructor there after I retire in a few years. Their soaring season is the opposite of the nothern hemisphere. I've been given assurances that not only is it relatively common to do what I'd like to do, but plenty of places will help convert my cetificates to teach there."
I understand why someone would want to instruct in the US if they are from elsewhere, but that's not going to happen except for the few people who come on a visa that includes CFI training and instruction for a short period as part of it.
Not trying to be sarcastic, etc. Truly realized my own answer was not only vague but almost misleading about who it was about.
Sorry!
