Folks -
Thanks for your posts and your advice. I have e-mailed the FTO in Orlando to ask for the I20-M form, to get the visa balling rolling, so to speak.
Particular thanks to 'Capt Richard Gentil' and 'Facts not Fiction Please' - very helpful.
Richard - your idea of posting the M1 details on this site is excellent - please do this as it will help me no end, and probably many others, to understand what is involved.
I dare not take the risk of being turned away from the US as my wife and in-laws are travelling with me, for a holiday whilst I fly. Saving for the course has taken quite some time, and I have my head in the Jeremy Pratt books most evenings (to my wife's consternation) so I would be gutted to be turned away upon arrival, as you can imagine.
Is it a simple process to get the M1 visa?
And if anyone else has done a 3/4 week PPL course and has any advice, please let me know!
Thanks guys (and gals).
Alan.
