I am a Spanish citizen, and I've been wandering for so many years how can i get a visa to study in U.S, I'm going 5 months to finish my university degree to Missouri and after these 5 months i would like to start my aviation studies over there, because it's way cheaper and it has higher quality training. To study i got a J-1 Visa but it only applies me for living 6 months there, so here it is my question?
Can i obtain another time of type of Visa or can i extend my J-1 Visa?
How did you do the pilots that come from Europe as me to study in U.S? Is it possible and convenient?
Thanks again. Have a great day.
I would really advise you not to do it this way. I have/had both FAA/JAA and worked for Air Nostrum for 6 years before getting a job in the states (had a green card an a EU passport). If you want to have a job as a pilot in the EU get your training done there. If you want to come to the states get a green card before you start your training here. An FAA license will never get you a job there, and with a student visa you will never get a job here.
