I would try calling the Embassy, or get another I20 if you can before your embassy visit. They can be very funny about things not being exact.
Hope all goes well for you - the US is a great place to fly.

Im just about to pay my sevis fee but have just noticed that my date of birth on the I-20 form is off by a single day. Do you guys thing that would be an issue? Should i request another I-20 and postpone my embassy visit? Thanks
Get a new I 20 , otherwise your visa application will be turned down

lekp,
Thanks for your prompt suggestion....
, the website seems to be giving a good scenario in this place and cost effective as well; I was wondering do you had any personal experience or idea of this place or any more suggestions to have second option available.
Thanks in advance.

Hi to all.
This is my first post on the site.
I am a holder of a PPL which i got at a JAA florida flight school.
I am thinking of going back to Florida after my ATPL theroy is complete to do some hour building, FAA single IR and JAA CPL ME.
I am just curious, when it comes to Interview time at an airline, will they think i am of poor standard when they see on my CV that i got my JAA CPL in Florida?
I often hear people at home telling me im wasting my money going to Florida casue its only a Lucky bag licence!
Thanks for replys.

Definately not!
70% of pilots do some or the majority of the training in the USA.
Oxford students who are considered the best in the UK, do most of their training in the USA.
Most current airline pilots who I have spoken to have done the CPL and FAA IR in the USA, and they have advised me to also, why do it in the UK when you can save money over there.

NMARTENS - STOP!!
The only active schools for JAA PPL in the USA are (apparently) approved through the UK CAA (though you might speak to LuftHansa or Sabena, both in Phoenix, Arizona).
The problem you may encounter is that at PPL level, the theory examinations must be done through the same national authority. At ATPL level the exams are transferrable from one state to another.
Reason is, I'm told, that the PPL air law covers national legislation - which is not necessarily JAA compliant.

Current Naples students??
Hi there
I would really like to talk to someone currently at Naples Air Center or someone that has just finished. I am considering doing the CPP program. I will be taking my wife and new child. Anyone got any experience with this? Would be especially interested in contacting any of the Danish students there currently as my wife is Danish. PM or reply here.
Thanks in advance

NAC
Get in touch with NAC and tell them u want to speak to a current danish student, they will ask him/her to contact u. Im here at the moment and people ask for that all the time!
My opinion so far. Groundschool is excellant with good Instructors, they do there best for u. 1 mod down and exams at the end of the month, no problems so far!

Re: Eidw 747
Thanks for this. The only problem with that being they are most likely to give me the contacts of the people that have had no problems. Glad to hear that the ground school is going well. Good luck with it
