Assuming that you have your commercial/instrument, and are current, and can do decent commercial maneuvers at this time, and have your writtens done for the CFI, it should be a seven to ten day course.

Flight time should be 10-20 hours depending on your skill level, and ground school should be another 5-20 hours depending on your knowledge level and the kind of questions known to your flight instructor to be asked by a particular examiner.

As a suggestion, pick up your ground instructor ratings before you go for your CFI. This is purely a paperwork exercise involving only written tests. This will get you into the books, and should cut down on the needed ground time with the instructor. It will also provide some brownie points with the examiner.

I have 700h right now, and I was flying a twin engine until hurricane Maria ******** up everything, so my stick and rudder skills should be on point.

Knowledge is a different story, I'm studying FOI/FIA right now and I'll pass both written in a couple of days.

I heard that AGI advice before, thanks for the info :)

Time is critical for me right now. All my stuff still in PR, suddenly no income or flight time, that sucks AND don't wanna waste my time waiting for nice recruiters to give a call.

So CFI it is :)
