Visa for flighttraining in US
Hi there!
Planning to go to California in April to do my FAA CPL (currently holding JAA CPL frozen ATPL) with Air Desert Pacific.
O.k.: I know I will need to apply for a M1 visa to do the training there..
But: I am also planning to join a first officer program with Alpine Air directly after issuance of the FAA CPL.
The program will include also a type rating for the B 1900 and of course some flying in aircraft with MTOW >12.500lbs. Furthermore it will be another trainingfacility then Air Desert Pacific (in this case Alpine Air).
Now my question:
I was being told to apply for the M1 visa via ADP and when visa issued to inform Alpine that they can start the backgroundcheck because of flying ac >12.500lbs.
Is this really possible to do both trainings in a row on the same visa? Or do I have to apply for a new visa for the part with Alpine?
Thank you for any comments
