Tough question to answer because you are missing so much, but I'll try as best I can.
There is no career position called "private pilot". A private pilot license by definition prevents the pilot from flying commercially (that's commercially, not Air Lines, a different category).
I'm guessing from your post that you think being a candidate for becoming a pilot in the US would help you immigrate. No - not even a factor.
There are many other issues, but these are show stoppers.
If you get beyond those, to become a pilot in any country in the world, there are many factors - height and weight perhaps being important - but spacial perception, hand-eye coordination, mental attitude, ability to act under pressure, etc. being extremely important.
If you REALLY want to be a pilot, your best chance is to check on the requirements in your own country and apply for training programs there. --
There is no shortage of candidates in the US.
I am, by the way, a licensed commercial pilot (not Airline) who used to be a military combat pilot. so, I do know a little about this.
I don't want to discourage you, but I recommend that you look at what you really want to do and you feel you can do it.
The answer to this isn't, "I really want to be a pilot and I think I could be one in the US." Do some research, try to understand what a pilot is and what he needs to do from a job perspective, from a skill perspective, etc.
After you think about these things, if you have more questions, I am willing to try to help answer them. --- Realize that there is a very small percentage of the population of the world who have the physical skills and the mental aquity and quickness to become a pilot.

hi i believe that you want to be a commercial pilot and the first step towards it is a private pilot's license. to be a civil pilot you should be average 5' of height, eyes correctable to 6/6 should be mentally fit and no major health related problems. now i believe the hour system is like this- [i] ppl requirments total hours 40 out of which 10 hrs of solo flight time, out of the 10 hrs solo you should have 5 hrs of cross country and so on. no one can guarantee a u.s. visa it depends case to case you can find more about it on google

Go to faa.gov ... look under pilots and training. There you can read and download everything you need to know about obtaining FAA Airman cetificates and ratings.
