M-1 Student Visa
Air Fleet excels at assisting the needs of internationals students, including lodging. Students who are not US citizens and reside in foreign countries/or are visiting from foreign countries must obtain an M-1 student visa prior to beginning their training at Air Fleet Training System. The visa process consists of the following steps:
The Air Fleet Training Admissions Department holds a telephone/Skype consultation with the student to gather required information and go over the review training requirements and visa process.
Student pays $150 application fee to Air Fleet. Air Fleet Training applies for an I-20 on the student’s behalf. Air Fleet Training mails the original signed I-20 form to the student.
Student submits I-901 form online and pay $200 for it.
Student applies to the local US Consulate for his/her visa interview. The student can arrange for the interview while the I-20 is still in transit, but the visa interview must be least 10 days after the date the I-20 was applied for to allow sufficient time for the student to receive the I-20.
Student attends the visa interview at the local US Consulate or embassy, making sure to arrive with all required documentation. Student receives visa.
