a $0.02 question about flight training and visa

Hi!

Here is my question: assuming I'm a student on a F1 visa for an engineering degree at a university. Do you thinks guys it would be OK to take some hours during my weekend and work on a IFR or multi ratings? I asked a CFI few days ago and he told me that an examiner must ask the student pilot to show his/her visa before starting the checkride... Tricky thought: do you have to hold a specific visa for flight training or being in the USA legally (under a F1 visa) is enough?

Sometimes I'm dreaming of being a student pilot when America was the eldorado for pilots...
