I would be very very much interested in applying for a dutch speaking flight attendant, but I have no idea how to get the papers ready for me to even be eligible, any ideas? I went through the whole application process on their website, but got automatically declined cause I didn't meet the proper visa requirements(yet). How does this usually go? Can you apply for a working permit even before you get the job? I would appreciate every little help I can get with this, this would be like a dream for me to get that job...

What type of visa did you come to the USA with? People with immigrant visas generally get a green card (allows you to work) on arrival. Other methods to legally live in the USA require adjusting status to get EAD (employment authorization) and then a green card. Also you would need to get a Social Security number. None of these requires you to have a job first, in fact you can't get a job legally until you have these.

I am not a US citizen, I am in fact belgian. Belgium is part of the waiver program, so I can freely travel in and out of the US, but to work I would need to request a specific visa for that, but I don't know how. I heard that your employer would normally arrange those papers for you once they decide to hire you, but for this job they required you to already have those things worked out, so I'm a bit confused here...

study the I-9 form. If you are document-qualified on the I-9, you can work in the USA.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Most of the airlines are hiring now and I can say they are very selective.

However, I strongly feel that as a non UScitizen, the airlines are much more interested in hiring people from a foreign country as flight attendants than any other company I have applied to in the last 3 years.

I actually got a job as one, and they really do need foreign language speakers to announce landing and take off safety proceedures in English and in the country of destination.

That being said, I speak no other language flently except australian, but still got hired....so I cant suggest enough to all who are interested....give it a try.....

You still need to have a work permit/legal status to work in the USA. You might want to look at local airlines or at positions with a foreign (American?) airline at the airport close to you.

Similar experience for me. Flight benefits are also good for my family living out of the USA, so... we do travel a whole lot. Edited by Boston~Montreal
