PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING AN M-1 STUDENT TRAINING VISA

The Student Exchange and Visitor Information System (SEVIS) requires ALL students not a U.S. Citizen to have an M-1 student visa. You cannot hold two visas at one time. So any other visa you have has to be returned in order to get an M-1. There is one rare exception and that does not apply here.

To apply for an M-1 Student Visa CHANDLER AIR SERVICE must fill out and generate an U.S. Immigration form I-20.

THE PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU MUST PROVIDE FOR THE I-20 IS AS FOLLOWS:

1. Your family name - as it appears on your passport
2. Your first name – as it appears on your passport
3. Your full address
4. Country of birth
5. Date of birth
6. Country of citizenship
7. Your source of funds to pay for the training-this is usually personal funds

DATE INFORMATION FOR I-20

You need to give us exact dates for when you want to do the training as we are required to put start and end dates on the I-20 form. You are allowed 30 days for travel before and after the training. You are allowed anywhere from 5 to 15 weeks for flight training depending on the program in which you are enrolled. In addition we need to make sure that we have that availability on our schedule.

MAILING OF I-20 FORM

Once we get the above information we will generate an I-20 form which we will send to you by REGULAR MAIL, usually the fastest procedure. At the same time we send the I-20 to you we email it to the U.S. Immigration Service and they email it to the U.S. Embassy that applies to you. You will then take this I-20 form to the U.S. Embassy and they will issue you your M-1 visa.

FEES

There is a FEE of US $250.00 paid by credit card or bank transfer to Chandler Air Service to generate the I-20 form.
There is a FEE of US $109.00 that is paid online to the U.S. Immigration Service
