Under the Trump administration, the U.S. Department of State has reinstated F-1 and M-1 visa processing, allowing international students to once again pursue professional training in the United States. This includes students aiming to attend flight schools like Pelican Flight Training, which is authorized to issue I-20s for both visa types.

What’s New?

While visa issuance has resumed, the administration has implemented stricter social media screening requirements. Applicants may now be asked to provide access to their social media profiles during the visa vetting process.
