As an FAA Part 141 and SEVIS-certified flight school, we fully comply with all applicable U.S. Department of Homeland Security regulations governing the enrollment of international students.
International applicants pursuing professional flight training are generally required to obtain an M-1 Student Visa. As a SEVIS-certified institution, Aeroservice Flight Training is authorized to issue Form I-20 to qualified applicants who meet the School’s admission requirements, enabling them to apply for an M-1 visa through the appropriate U.S. consular process.

When academically justified and permitted under applicable regulations, extensions of stay may be available to allow students to complete their approved training.
At Aeroservice Flight Training, our commitment extends far beyond the admission process. We provide personalized guidance throughout every stage of the international student journey—from enrollment and visa documentation to academic support and successful program completion—offering students and their families the confidence and peace of mind that come from choosing a trusted aviation institution.
