G'day,
I'm an Aussie currently living and working in the US as a helicopter CFI. I recently married an American lass and we've been talking about buying a small plane next year to fly ourselves around and for me to possibly teach a couple of our friends to fly too (I have my ASEL CFI as well). The thing is, my work visa expires in January and I'm not certain whether or not I'd be allowed to instruct, even if it would only be training friends (not for compensation).
Has anyone encountered this before or know who I could contact for clarification? I've already talked with my local FSDO and they didn't have any answers.
Thanks in advance!
