I think his timeline is off by a magnitude of about a decade too.
Emirates got their first 777 in the late 90's. Flying that for 15 years would mean he was hired at AA 6-7 years ago. I don't think that seniority can hold any group 4 at AA?
But it's a cool anecdote anyway.

He also needs to understand the US visa system better. A "job offer" isn't enough for that. Fastest way for the OP is to get permanent residency via his spouse. Budget a year or maybe 14-16 months for that. He cannot even apply without a legal right to live and work in the US.
