We are Part 61 school and we may train a foreign national if that alien is a legal permanent resident, a refugee in asylum status with appropriate DHS documentation, or the alien who are already in the USA with valid American VISA. The foreign learners must complete the AFSP / TSA screening before they can take flying lessons in the US.
For B1B2 visa holders, must be studying for recreational or avocational purposes, not for academic credit. The training should be less than 18 hours per week.

Part 141- M1 VISA Availablity
For alien candidates who want to come to the United States for flight training, we can assist you to obtain a visa from our partner Part 141 flight school. We work with California Flight Academy training 141 students. In many cases, we already have procedures in place to help a candidate obtain his or her M-1 visa (presently for Chinese students). We provide the most affordable training programs in the area.
