I just thought of something. Shannon Aerospace Ltd definitely and Air Atlanta Aero Engineering possibly have a 2 year training programme for aircraft mechanics. They come out licensed when they finish. Maybe you could research a study visa as a way of getting over. It would be back to school for him for 2 years and very little pay, but if such a visa exists, it may allow you to work. I really don't know anything about that side of it, but it's a small glimmer, maybe!
