Listen to the Capt. from Naples,guys!I am going to Florida next week to do a FI course and I had to get a student visa from the American Embassy here in Dublin before I go.Any school that does not inform you of this requirement-stay well clear!!I also had to submit to an interview before they issuied the visa.They have become more than a little paranoid since 9/11,which you cant blame them for.Spend your money wisely,guys,we have all wasted too much already on dodgy schools and unprofessional practices.Good luck!!!
