I am Not a U.S. Citizen; Can I Work as a Flight Attendant in the United States?
If you want to work for a United States airline you must be either be a U.S. citizen or be authorized to work legally in the U.S. without sponsorship, and must have unrestricted multiple entry into and out of the U.S. I have included a link to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization website:

If you meet these qualifications, we say go for it, and we can help you achieve your career goals with our Flight Attendant Preparation Course!
What If I Don’t Pass Your Test?
Our students are required to make a 90% or above to pass the test. Airlines typically require at least 80%, and some require 90%, so our standards are set so that you can achieve a high level of success in airline training. Our intentions are to build, empower and give confidence. We want you to succeed, so if you do not pass our test the first time, we work with you until we are sure you understand and we retest you on the last day of class. If you need an additional try at the testing, you can go to your local library and the staff there will proctor you for a re-test. It is rare that a student has a great deal of difficulty, but if that should happen, we can schedule you to repeat the class at a later time. The charge for a repeat or refresher class is only $100 for any former student.
How Long is the Course?
The course is equivalent to 64 hours.
The first part is learning at home with our Study Guide, which we send you when we receive your deposit for the course. Most people require about 2 weeks to thoroughly learn the material in the Study Guide. There is a lot of information involved, with some memorization.
When you come to Orlando for class, you will be here for 3 days.
While you are here we will go over the information you have been studying to ensure your comprehension, then you will be tested on it. We also teach you interviewing skills which include how to make an airline specific resume what to wear for the interview and communication skills. We have several practice exercises with group participation and role-playing, then we video tape you to show your progress in the interview. Recruiters from one or more airlines will be in class to interview students who are interested in working for those respective airlines.
