What should I do?
Having lived in a bubble for the past couple of months. OK - so in reality I've been out of the country (UK) and having moved house and not had internet connection for some time.
I have a couple of questions, if anyone can help me (background first):
- I travel to the US on Jan 2nd to commence CPL training on Jan 10th.
- I already have an M1 Visa (issued on Oct 18th)
- I have an FAA Airmans Certificate (based on my UK PPL), issued several years ago.
So it seems from December 19th I will need to comply with these new TSA rules.
- Should I complete the on-line registration in the UK (on/after 19th December)? Or MUST this be done at the school? I am concerned that I may not have all the necessary detailed history information at my fingertips when I am out of the UK.
- I understand applicants can only have their fingerprints done in the US. So I assume this part will have to wait until I arrive. It appears that it is taking some 2-3 weeks to "process" the application once the fingerprints are received. How will this impact my CPL training that starts on Jan 10th?
I appreciate any assistance fellow ppruner's can provide me.
Thanks (and happy christmas)
