You need an M1 Student VISA to get a PPL and hours build in the States now.
You have to apply for an I-20 form through the FTO then apply for the VISA. This so far has taken me in the region of 8 weeks.
This is a very new procedure that has just been introduced and a bloody good job too IMHO. It is a pain being arsed around but if it avoids anymore terrorists getting trained over there then so be it.
