To obtain an AFFI rating:

Candidates may earn the USPA AFF Instructor rating
who have met all the following requirements:
a. reached the age of 18 years
b. holds or has held any USPA instructional
rating
c. earned a USPA C license or the FAI equivalent
d. logged six hours of freefall time
e. completed the USPA AFF Instructor Proficiency
Card (applicable portions)
f. successfully proven ability by successfully
completing the written and practical AFF
evaluation process with a USPA AFF Instructor
Rating Course Director

What privileges does the AFFI rating allow for?
A USPA AFF Instructor may—
a. exercise all privileges of the USPA Coach rating
b. conduct AFF-type jumps, the AFF first-jump
course, and transition training to AFF
c. conduct training in the general portions of any
first-jump course
d. train and supervise jumps with non-methodspecific
students
e. conduct the A-license oral quiz and check dive
f. verify certain USPA license applications, according
to the requirements in SIM Section 3
g. supervise a USPA Coach in training students and
making recurrency jumps with licensed skydivers
3. Supervision (BSRs)
a. All student training is conducted under the
direction and oversight of an appropriately rated
USPA Instructor (refer to the BSRs).
b. All general, non-method-specific student training
and jump supervision may be conducted by any
USPA Instructor, but method-specific training and
jumps (AFF, IAD, static-line, and tandem) require
a USPA Instructor who holds that method-specific
rating.

USPA website has a lot of information, although it's not always easy to find.

Sure looks that way, and it seems they have higher standards to boot.

BUt something to aim for. A good place to start is with the CS Basic Instructor (CSBI) course which you only need 200 jumps for, and six months later (if you are not a mong!) you can crack on to get the CS Instructor rating. All valuable experience towards your AFFI later.

Then at 300 jumps (if it hasn't changed) you can work on your FS Coach rating... ready for the in air stuff. Other than that, just lots of group skydiving will help.
Just to give you something more immediate to work towards...

Maybe they learn more slowly so have to build in extra time...
