the TSA and the DHS dont know their own rules...
call 3 times, and you will get 3 times different answers.
Some people working at the DHS have no clue about visa.
One asked me what was a tourist visa!!!and I started to explain him HIS job.
anyway, I have given up my training in the USA, because noone of these US offices want fix THEIR mess with SSTR.
for the same course they can ask you to get a B2 visa, an M1 visa, a J1 visa, no visa and come illegaly,...
for my part, they asked me to come with a M1 visa, but the SSTR couldnt issue M1 as they are not approved for M1.
USA is not a reliable country for aviation training since 9/11.
