Conversion from FAA to EASA
Hello fellow aviators,
I'm currently pursuing my FAA commercial license (waiting for checkride )and will add the multi-engine rating, however I plan to convert the license to EASA standards in the future. Since me being an international student and having a little scope of the least, getting a job in the US, thought I'll try my luck elsewhere. My plan is to write the EASA ATPL Theory and/or take a Type Rating on A320 or B737 and look for a job, this plan may sound very naive, but I could only narrow down to the options mentioned above, after performing an extensive research.
Another option probably would be to build time and get 1500 hours in The United States however, it wouldn't be benefit me as no organization would be sponsoring an immigrant out of the blue. My school had given the hope of getting an instructional job or ferrying aircraft jobs after I complete the course, well things changed after I got here.
Would you experienced aviators give an insight on how I could continue my path to being a commercial pilot, and where I could try to gain experience or further my studies? (CFI is something I looked into and I know I'll not be the right person for it)
This post may sound dumb, we all start somewhere right...
ThankYou.

Why dont you convert to EASA straight ? To pay type rating i'd rather not recommend,what if you don't get a job within a year? Buy buy money... You will have to pass 13 exams in EASA country and do check for each remark in license. But there is one good thing ,start the ATPL Theory online that will speed up the process . If you need any recommendation and explanation, send me inbox msg ,i know few guys ,they have done the same thing as you wanted and without problem... You can start ATPL Theory right now ,company is flexible and approved by EASA, prices are more than afordable 👍🏻 CFI i'd say rather to be 2nd option in case ..
