Greetings,
I'm looking for assistance with my M-1 visa application to attend a US aviation technical school for around 4 weeks, possibly a bit longer, through their accelerated program.
Although the school provided me with a visa letter, it currently lacks SEVIS accreditation, hindering the issuance of the required I-20 form for the M-1 Visa application.
I'm asking for help to explore potential solutions. Could the school provide an alternative to the I-20 form? Alternatively, is it possible for them to pursue a prompt SEVIS accreditation to facilitate the quick issuance of the required document?
If obtaining the M-1 Visa proves challenging, are there alternative visa options that don't necessitate an I-20 form and that will allow me to pursue the accelerated course at the aviation school? Perhaps I could pursue a visitor visa and participate in the program during the visit period? However, I'm hesitant about opting for a visitor visa due to its significantly longer wait and processing times compared to the M-1 student visa, unless there is a way to make it quicker than actually waiting for 6 months or more for a response.
Any insight will be helpful.
Thank you for your time!
