M-1 Student Visa
- Air Fleet excels at meeting the needs of international students, including lodging. Students who are not U.S. citizens who 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 Systems. The visa process consists of the following steps:
- The Air Fleet Training Admissions Department holds a video consultation with the student to gather required information and review the training requirements and visa process, and verify the student’s eligibility.
- The student will pay a $250 application fee to Air Fleet. We will email the I-20 form to the student.
- The student submits the I-901 form online ($350).
- The student applies to the local U.S. Consulate for his/her visa interview, and receives their M-1 visa.
