IR in Non Visa-approved US School

[VORTIME]

Hi -

If a flight school in the US isn't VISA approved and assuming I already have an FAA PPL - does anyone know if this presents a problem getting through INS.

Assume also I've a perfectly clean history etc and never been turned down going to US.

Depends what you are going for!! Be more specific.

Hi GoneWest,

I'm looking at adding an FAA IR to my current FAA PPL at IFRWest.

I don't think you can - but read the post from NAC at the head of this group.

Is your current FAA PL a "US Flight Test Passed" - or a "Issued on the basis of..."

If the latter, remember you are also bound by the "60 day verification" rule that suddenly appeared.

Legally, however, - no you cannot enter the USA to do any flight training that results in a licence or rating.

GoneWest,

I did a FAA flight test with a DE in the US this year.
