Good luck with the Greencard application. 7-10 years buddy.
And officially sponsored visa schemes will have you tied hand and foot to the one employer.

I didn't encourage any fake marriage. If he finds someone, he finds someone. I was pointing out how difficult it can be for a foreigner to get work in the US as a pilot.
And 7-10 years... not at all. It took my wife 3 months after we got married. We moved out of the country and when we came back, it took less than 5 months the second time. A friend of mine met an American girl and got married, and it was less than 6 months.
And yes, a work visa will tie you to one company. Such is the case in many countries.

Green card
This is a good option for those who want the green card.
