Hello to you,
I am an permanent resident here in the U.S. originaly from Brazil who spent half of my life in this country. Two years ago I graduated from an aviation college in Anchorage AK and I have been working for the past two years as a CFI in order to built sufficient hours to get hired by a regional airline; I finally got the hours.
A couple of days ago I got a phone call from a reputable regional airline here in the U.S. calling me to schedule an interview, halfway through the conversation the recruiter realized that I am not an U.S. citizen bringing everything to a screeching halt due to a new law that does not differentiate between permanent U.S. residents with green cards which is my case and foreign nationals coming to America for training for aircraft over 12,500 pounds.
This new law is hurting a descent permanent resident like myself who have trained two U.S. navy Seals, two U.S. Air Force pilots, and many other Americans how to fly. Furthermore, It also hurts my wife and son who are both U.S. citizens.
Sincerely,
OM
