Green card holders married to non-U.S.

citizens are able to legally bring their spouses and minor children to join them in the USA, but only after an extensive multi-year delay, during which time the family is separated. The foreign spouse of a green card holder must wait for approval of an 'immigrant visa' from the State Department before entering the United States. Due to numerical limitation on the number of these visas, the current wait time for approval is four to five years for all non-retrogressed countries (including Western Europe), and many more for the retrogressed countries. In the interim, the spouse cannot be legally present in the United States (let alone work), unless he/she secures a visa for himself/herself using some other means. However, securing another (i.e. non-immigrant) visa for himself/herself is usually difficult (and nearly-impossible at US embassies in some countries). This is because the spouse has to overcome presumed immigrant intent in order to qualify for a non-immigrant (or tourist) visa, a position at odds with her or his marriage to a US permanent resident. Due to the long wait and the immigration intent issues, many green card holders opt to wait to become US citizens (usually 5 years), and only then sponsor their spouses and children (the process is much faster for US Citizens). This, however, imposes a family separation of several years, unique in the immigration laws of industrialized nations. http://www.faa.gov/education/student_resources/scholarships_grants/aviation_s cholarships/ http://www.aerosim.com/academy/financial-assistance http://www.uvu.edu/aviation/degrees/ http://www.collegescholarships.org/loans/trade.htm http://pilotjobs.com/ https://www.salliemae.com/student-loans/career-training-smart-option-studentloan/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administration_of_federal_assistance_in_the_United _States - pass thru entities Mountain State university, Airline Transport Professionals https://fafsa.ed.gov/contact.htm
