Need Some Advise
hi all,
i was just wondering if anybody out there has been in the same position as me. I have been traveling back and forth to the states for the past 7 yrs doing all my flight training there. im about to get married to my long term girlfriend from texas this year in houston. My delima is over the possibility of gaining employment and how long it may take. I have done a lot of research on the regional side of things and they all seem to say "legal to work in the united states" (no mention of greencard as in previous yrs). Does ones temp work permit after marriage count when airlines are considering you...or do they want the full green card?? As I used to have a H1-B visa i already have a social security card and a valid driving license. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. My experience is as follows....
1)ATP Written
2)CPL Multi/Single Land Instrument B737
3)B737 type rating
4)4 yr college degree BSc
5)803TT 212 Multi

My understanding of the situation is that a temporary work permit is acceptable to the Airlines. All they ask is can you legaly work in the USA. I was recently hired by a regional here after being laid off from another regional and my sim partner was from Europe also, He was married to an American and did not have his permanent resident card. It was not an issue for him. All he had to do was go through the TSA Screening to get clearance to start training. Hope this helps. I was lucky enough to get a green card in the lottery scheme(i'm from Ireland) but still had to do the TSA screening.
