Hey guys,

Im currently in the process of getting my Visa sorted to live in the US, i recently got married to a US citizen and have just received my immigration interview date for my greencard. Once i have the green card i plan on starting flight training in the chicago area(hopefuly this summer) and plan initially on doing this aswell as working full time at a job elsewhere.

Has anyone done any flight training in the chicago area and can recommend any flight schools??? The nearest airport to me seems to be palwaukee and and a flight school i might be interested in there is palwaukee flyers, Anyone trained there at all??

Being a non US citizen for the time being i cant go the AllATP route. My plan currently is to work full time to try build up some funds whilst obtaining my PPL and instrument rating, beyond that i may then opt for a more intensive flight training schedule upto CFI level and hopefully find a job in the area doing that for a year or two while i build my hours.

So can anyone recoomend any schools in the area???? especially ones that employ CFI's once training is complete??

Thanks for your help

Wait till you have US citizenship then start flight training. You'll have less issues w/ TSA and FBOs.

Once you have that all important US Passport you're golden in the eyes of the feds.
