All students must submit a form I-901 along with a fee of $350.00 for visa interview or before re-entering the country on a new I-20. You can find this form and instructions for filing and make payment at the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s website: www.ice.gov/graphics/sevis/i901/index.htm.

All students are encouraged to register with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) before entering the country so as you save time and start your training sooner.

Students must pay this fee for each course as they go. e.g. Private, Instrument, and Multi-Engine Commercial.
