Question
I am an international student currently working on my ppl, after i get my ppl I'll be working for my instrument, multi engine and CPL, I would like to know if there are groups or companies that I can work or give service to, so that i can build time towards my instrument rating?
Thank you

Answer
Daniel,
In order to fly for compensation in the US you must have a commercial pilots license.  In order to obtain that, you must already have received your instrument rating.  So the answer to your question no it is not possible to fly for compensation.  However, you may be able to get a job fueling airplanes or the like.  That area is outside my expertise.
