I have to agree with that.
Most school's tell you this if they want your best outcome.
Most people coming to the US on a M1 is people who are only interested in taking education and than leave again.
You are not qualified for the J-1 visa if you have more than PPL-H + 70 hours I think.
Doesn't matter where your license is from.
If it helps, you are allowed to come to the US on a J-1 if you want to take fixed wind. But not rotorwing anymore.
