Since the retirement age for pilots have gone up, do you think its too late to start from scratch?? I have heard if u finish ur flyinh hrs before time it is possible . But age is the the factor here . Should i jump at this age ?? 🙏

you can as a hobby but as a profession 38 is almost time to retire , since you are in TPS nobody hires you in the US .its hard to get hired in NEPAL since there is backlog of commercial pilots .

you can definitely fly in uganda , somalia , chad or similar countries .

1)Son if u become airline pilot you will automatically acquire GC .
2) Are you out of your mind why would i fly in nepal if i had become pilot here ?
3) people who doesnt have any ambitions will always discourage you .

How did you know he was in TPS?

Tough situations create new opportunities though. Good luck! Anything is possible at any age if you are determined

"Son if u become airline pilot you will automatically acquire GC". One of the reasons u r still in tps is lack of brain . Being a pilot dosenot qualify you for green . U still need employment based green card just like others n nobody hires u in tps in already saturated market .

Or you have to go through Niw , freahers dosenot qualuify for niw , by time u have qualifications for niw , you will already be 50 .

Seems like ur intentions to become pilot is just to get a green card . Forget about gc u need to be in active f1 or m1 visa status to be pilot student which seems u have already lost but im nit sure , also 100k usd for fees and accomodation .

Not discouraging you, if you have money , u still can be commercial pilit , you can go countries like philipines , south africa if u r out of status after tps , its cheaper there .

Not an issue if you can successfully pass tests on medical conditions like some forms of diabetes or high blood pressure or vision(eye) problems and so forth. I'm a big fan of bush pilots.

Its all about money, if you have plenty of money its not a big deal . Since , you already 38 , you must have big savings so even easier for you .

But as pandit said, getting pilot license and getting a job as a foreigner in the US are two different things to talk about . if you are a US citizen, and have plenty of money ,go for it , don't let age factor pull you behind achieve you dreams.

Every circumstances are different . If you could share your financial strengths , legal status , family support etc so we can advise you better.
