Sheep Guts!

Received information late last night stating that it is not as bad as it sounds. According to my source it will still be possible to go over to train but there are uncertainties of how everything is going to work.

It goes something like this:

After getting a pre approval you must get your fingerprints taken and then get a second approval. The time that the FTTTF has to issue a second approval can be up to 45 days.
Kind of extending your visit in the US a bit, but I guess the hotel owners aren’t to sad about the entire deal.

This information came from the lawyers of the training institution I am planning to attend.

Lime Rock,
45 Days x $50.00USD an night and thats at, a 1 star Motel ,works out to$2250.00 usd. Thats rediculous,in my book!

Sheep Guts,

I could not agree with you more. It puts a rather unwelcome dent in the wallet. But they also say that they expect that the second approval will go faster than the 45 days they actually have the right to check.

Best case scenario is 5 days, however: they recommend that one comes to the US 10 days prior to course start as it is right now.

But these are only guidelines, one could actually be waiting 45 days and should therefore plan to have the exess cash somewhere.

I could not fathom the effect the terrorist attack would have on the entire training community, but at least there is an opening for all this which is less costly than it was before.
The 2250 USD are still less expensive than getting a type rating for an AC that you would never fly again just to get the 12-5 rating in your license and through that be eligable for expedited proccesing.

I guess it boils down to what kind of money you have put in to the career as of this point and what you expect to come out of it in the future. I am lined up for a job and have the income waiting for me - therefore it is an option. Otherwise I would not have taken this road.

Good luck whatever you decide to do.

Best regards,

LR
