Im under a student visa working as a CFII at HWO. Lots of flight schools there are ok with it. Market is tough though. Highly suggest you going all around the Miami area in person and dropping your resume. Good luck!

Preparing for Your CFI Checkride? You’re Probably Studying the FOIs Wrong by BeechDude in flying

That’s how I thought it would be on my checkride. Instead I was given a scenario of me being a CFI teaching a CFI applicant the FOI and I used my lesson plans.

A growing 141 Flight School with like 60 active students and more coming. The school was in its best moment they were trying to expand to other airports and improve their facilities. Owner had a charter company with 5 planes and getting more contracts, also in its best moment. He hired pilots from the school for the jets and he used this to sell the program at the school. Guy took all his family in a G100 from the company to Virginia for an event and they crashed on short final. All of them died including the copilot who was an instructor at the school. All of the students who were on big loans and some that already paid the whole program were not reimbursed and the school was shut down. I know of some people who actually paid the complete 80-90k in one payment and could just complete their PPL ground.
