I cannot remember what changed immediately after 9-11 , but I just checked again and a student visa is needed to study flying , and must be obtained before you arrive in USA . And you don’t get approval until you arrive so could travel all the way here and start training then get refused !!
Seems messed up ....
But that isn’t applicable to me .
Looking at it right now , it seems the only thing stopping me is I don’t have a passport !!!
Not sure how easy that will be to sort out , and I think my original thinking might have been that it’s easier to wait until I become a citizen than apply as a resident .
