I was under the impression that a person would not be eligible for a J1 visa for training if one has more than a PPL. Anyway around this? What does it cost to get a CF1 in the states?
Rochrunner: You mention that can initially enter the states on a tourist visa to find a suitable school. How do you convert this to a working visa later on?
