Razzele, check your PMs.

Thats a strange one, I couldnt get the paper work for the J1 visa until I had my insurance in place, have you asked the flight school about it?

LB :ok:

The school should be able to offer that to you. In the past you could arrange this when you arrived at the school..this may have changed

I have had the same problem. The trick is to purchase the insurance online from a US insurer. Traffords in the UK were quoting me about 900 quid for one year including aviation coverage. A similar policy purchased from a US insurer cost around 350. I used a site called www.g1g.com which searches through the best medical plans. Also, my medical insurance was not checked when I entered the country.
