any update on legality of this f1 programme

Hi all,

is there any update on the legality of this f1 private to cfi/cfii/mei programme?

I've been told that because you'd be enroled in a full training you could get an F1 visa. Even if you already hold an FAA CPL. As a comparison, no one prevents you from going to multiple classes at different universities, although you would not get have the need to do your final exam again as you already hold the degree, does this sound plausible?

Also, looking at work prospects, what would be the advantage, if any, or chances of getting another type of visa without having to marry a us chic?

I don't see how spending another 20k on cfi training would get me access to US regionals or any other airline in the world. Would anyone have a different view on this as I'm trying to move forward with my career, with a CPL ME FAA licence atm.

Thanks guys
