There does not need to be any other excuse.
The Visa issue is a huge one and if a school does not have Visa approval then they are looking at a minimum of a year to get it approved.
The trouble is, George and Jatin are one of the few schools in the US who did it right. They continued the great name of BFC because of their "tell it as it is" approach. It is due to their high morals that the Visa situation has caused the closure of a great school. There are plenty of other schools out there that are gambling with their students money by telling them that they do not need a Visa. Students are being turned around at Immigration consistently because the schools are telling them to say that they are "on holiday". By getting caught in the lie (or ommission) this can give them grief down the road should they wish to return to the USA, not to mention the loss of money on a wasted journey. Future aviators should be warned that you need a Visa stating the school you are training at in the USA, same as most other countries outside the EU.
I tip my hat to the guys at BFC and wish them every success in their future ventures.
