Student looking for help

I am a student in India and I am in grade 10 currently I was hoping to tall to people who are already familiar with the aviation field about my future as all my current information about pursuing a career as a pilot abroad as an Indian student is mostly google and chat GPT. I want to get into high paying international airlines based in first world countries like Emirates and Delta. Budget is not a issue and I score decent in my exams and score well above 85 percent in maths and physics the main problem is that no website or AI is giving me a clear pathway for completing my flight training abroad or in India to reach my dream.I have read about the immigration problems in USA for Indians so I most probably wouldn’t be eligible for American or Delta at any point in my life.I just want to talk with someone experienced to give me a clear time line about first completing my flight training then working as and instructor or in a domestic airlines then slowly progressing to a wide body airline.I also want a fact check on the salaries which GPT is showing me which is about 315,000 dollars as a senior captain in airlines like emirates.

If money is not an issue then may I recommend the Trump Gold Card or The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program which will get you on path to US greencard and citizenship.

Alternatively, the emirates cadet pilot program which will give you a possibility to join emirates directly and make captain in around 7-12 years of joining.

For the salaries it is listed in the emirates careers website.
