There has been several previous threads on British Citizens trying to obtain the correct Visa for a flying course in the US, but I am not any clearer as to the correct visa to have in my case. I am an aged FAA CPL/IR/ME/CFI flyer(British Citizen) and would like to do the additional ratings of CFII and MEII. The aim would be to try to get my hours from 300 to 1500 in order for the ATPL to be had. Unfortunately, the US Schools I've spoken to can get me on the courses with a M1 visa but can't offer employment once the course has finished. In order for me to find instructors courses afterwards at different schools methinks the M1 (Student visa) is not the correct one and a J1 visa may seem more appropiate. Am I right or wrong?. I think that having spent a boat load of money getting thus far there has to be a correct visa to get to the next step rather than telling US immigration a load of lies on entry. Does anyone know of any reasonably priced Schools who can help with the correct visa?
