Well, bottom line is it all depends on your sponsor. If you train for your CPL / CFI at a particular school, then you have more chance of getting a job.
Technically, you also need a J1 to train for a US rating as a foreigner, but quote " as we examiners don't talk to the INS its not a problem"....

I'll awaken this thread as constraints of the US J-1 visa could dictate my future! I currently have an FAA PPL and 98 hours. If anyone can shed light on the following, it'd be much appreciated:
1. If I were to apply after passing JAR ATPL theories, would I fall foul of the 'nothing more than a PPL' rule?
2. Previous posts state a maximum of 100 logged hours, and/or a maximum of 50 since the PPL exam/checkride. Do these both apply?
3. How's the current US job market for CFIs?
Thanks
