US Cessna 402 Job for Expats ?
Saw this ad for C402 pilots...making some "interesting" comments. Any info on this ?:
"To address a pilot shortage in the U.S., OMS recently launched a program to recruit experienced foreign fixed wing pilots to work in the U.S., and in the process, be eligible to receive a green card for themselves and their family members." https://jobs.flightglobal.com/job/14...2-captain-usa/ The first C402 operator coming to mind is Cape Air but their pilot recruitment web pages say nothing about expats...just "valid passport": https://www.capeairpilots.com/requirements |
Would also be interested ... Any update ? :rolleyes:

It's an FLL-area phone number. I find the idea of any of South Florida's glorious charter operators sponsoring people for a Green Card somewhat far-fetched...
Some of them balk at replacing alternators, so... |
Whilst I don't think it's a "scam" they do want you pay them $38k over 2 years. The address is for the office of an immigration laywer/ambulance chaser.

Yep, it does have an unusual ring to it. I'd be curious to know for whom they're recruiting expats.

Of course their website is plastered with “wonderful tales” of expats now living the American Dream and thanking OMS. Anybody heard of these guys or perhaps flown with a colleague who’s used them. I’m always cautious/suspicious of any company requesting cash upfront in return for a green card...... |

I guess I would be too. ~$40K is a lot of money. I can't even pretend to understand all this green card/visa stuff. I'd like to hear what Cape Air has to say about this affiliation with OMS. |
Well if you gents and ladies happen to stumble upon any info, or anybody that may have dealt with OMS, I would greatly appreciate the feedback.....

http://www.myvisajobs.com/H1B-Visa/S...=2017&CI=93034 I assume green cards aren't handed out in short order (even to those ultimately eligible ) so how are these C402 pilots hired in the meantime ? |
Most people ( all non pilots) I know didn't pay anything close to 38000$ for a green card. This sounds like a ripoff or at minimum a pay to fly operation. Proceed with caution !!!!!!
