Being an international student, how can I build my time as a CFI in other flight schools?

Question

Good day!

I really need advice on my career path as a pilot. Maybe next year, I plan to go to a flight school in Florida. I'm planning to obtain the PPL up to MEI license. I do have questions regarding my eligibility on this.

A lot of flight schools offer their training for foreigners in M-1 Visa which is valid for 1 year only and only a few offers J-1 Visa programs. My question is that, for example I complete my ratings under the M-1 visa until CFI, could I apply for a working visa that would allow me to work as a CFI in that school or another school? I probably would not refer the J-1 because the schools offer it in a high price.

Can anyone share their experiences same with what I'm planning? I was also thinking if I finish ratings under the M-1, I would apply in First Officer Direct Programs.

Thank you very much.

If the Flight School you chose cannot supply this information. chose another school.  Try Langa Air.
