Us Crew visa for permanent residents

[Instructor01]

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone here has applied to Porter and received a job offer without already holding a U.S. crew visa.

On the application portal, it shows a U.S. crew visa as a requirement to apply. However, from what I understand, you typically need a letter of employment to apply for a crew visa in the first place.

So how does this work in practice?

Any insight or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

They’ll ask for a C1/D US Crew visa proof before the video interview. You don’t need a letter of employment for a crew visa. DM if you have more questions.

Hello, I've just registered on this website.

I am a PR holder (Indian passport) with Transport Canada ATPL. I am planning to apply to Porter in a few months.

Is C1/D mandatory prior to application ?

If yes, Can I apply for C1D visa without having an employment letter ?

If you've applied for C1D without employment letter, what was the visa interview experience ? (Did you apply for the visa in Canada ?)

Thank you, apologies if I asked a previously asked question.

Consulates do ask for a letter of employment!

That's factually incorrect.
I got my C1/D visa without even a flying job at hand, in anticipation of flying later.
It's also mentioned on USICS website

They don't ask for any letter,they didn't even ask for my pilot license.

Please stop misleading others
