So if it is a charter operation but not 121 Supplemental it would also be a 135 operation.
What does charter mean? In Europe charter means a flight that is bought as a whole by a travel company which then sells the seats, often together with an accomodation as a package. Is that it? Or does charter merely mean the flight is flying according to an individual customers need? |

Quick update on our pplication for NIW Eb-2. Don't waste thousands of $$ on lawyers. We applied on our own on Oct 08 2021, and on Feb 23 2022 our I-140 was successfully approved. I know it's not a final step yet, cause it has to go to Consular Processing, but it means that this NIW stream for pilots is working. My partner who is a petitioner has 10,000 hrs, Bachelor's Degree and French military ATC license, and currently employed with Canadian airline as a SIC. P.S. He did not do any conversion. I prepared the package by myself, so if you decide to go the same way we did, read well the cases of people who applied (can be scientists, professors) to see how the package should look like and how to fill all the forms. We had only 2 recommendation letters, but I would put 4-5. Good luck to everyone!!!
Thank You |
Charter is a bit broader term in the FAA world. It can include an “indirect air carrier” where a company contracts an air carrier to provide services that the company advertises to the public as in Europe. It also could be when someone hires a Lear jet to take them to Las Vegas for dinner. Basically the departure point, departure time and destination are determined by the customer and not the air carrier.

Good day all, trying to find a solid Law Firm to petition my EB2-NIW. Would anyone indicate a trustworthy Law Firm for that matter?
I'm a Military Pilot with around 3,000 hours of flight time, from single-engines to multi-engine turboprops (TRI/TRE/CFI/SFI/SFE). I have a college degree from the Air Force (2004) and an MBA in Strategic Planning and Management, at the moment I am enrolled in a Master's in Aerospace Sciences. In addition to higher education, I took several courses with solid knowledge in the area of Flight Safety and Air Accident Investigation, last eight years working as an Investigator in Charge (IIC). I would like to verify my possible eligibility for EB2-NIW or another strategy that may provide me with the right to live and work in the United States. Thanks in advance. |

What's the deal here with license conversion? I have a UK ATPL and believe I meet all the necessary criteria for the visa, but presumably I'd have to convert to the FAA equivalent after (and if) the visa is granted?
|
darn,
I'm not sure what you're asking. You're applying for a visa to live/work in the USA (as a pilot trying to work for a US carrier) and asking if you'll have to get an FAA license to do that after getting the visa ? I'm missing something here. What is it ? |

You can absolutely do it after you receive your visa but it will take an extra 3 months before you can get a job. Additionally, it might help with the visa application if you already have an FAA license. It’s a gamble to spend all this money for the conversion and then maybe not get the visa approved. |
Are there any success stories here, who actually got visa and went?
|
I personally know 2 guys. Both EU nationals. One is with an ACMI operator and another one is with an LCC. Both took the EB2-NIW way through a lawfirm. Took them over a year.
|
A321drvr,
Which law firm? how much did it cost them? Are they here on PPRUNE by any chance? I'm waiting for my interview in the embassy. And I have a few questions for them if possible. |
The only thing they've shared with me that it cost them a penny as well as non disclosures had to be signed. The paperwork needed was pretty extensive nevertheless. Can't provide any more details I'm afraid.
Edit: both had CJO-s and FAA ATP-s beforehand already. |
what is CJO?
|
fronzee,
A CJO is a Conditional Job Offer. A person interviews, passes and is offered a job pending things like background checks, drug testing, etc. If all the background checks go well, the CJO holder is given a class date. Or to be correct, the applicant may be placed in a holding pool awaiting a class date...it depends. |
Thanks.
Anyone without FAA ATPs and CJOs beforehand got VISA? |

Any success stories lately? I'm about to apply for an EB2 NIW visa, I have 7,000 hours, and an FAA CPL. I was thinking about getting an FAA ATP but the cost of the whole thing just to see if MAYBE you'll get a green card is just too risky for me. So I'll go ahead and apply with a CPL only.

Hi Guys, I am looking at the option of doing my FAA CPL with IR rating. I already have quite a bit of jet hours experience but unfortunately I am from the MPL route and hence have to get some single engine PIC hours done. I am neither an US citizen nor a green card holder. If I manage to get a FAA CPL & maybe the ATPL, what are my job prospects? Thanks
1) Your chance of getting a job w/o your own right to work in the US is pretty much zero. 2) You don't have to do single engine first to do multiengine Commercial. I'd think you can use FAR 61.75 to get a Private w/ ME rating. The just do the requirements for FAR 61.129 in the twin. How did this turn out for you? |
LTCTerry,
Will a license issued under MPL criteria meet the requirement of FAR 61.75(a) ? I'm not much of an av lawyer. |
Just got my E3 and started working in America, best decision I made for flying. I would have a read of of this article for any E3 information.
