I wish to undertake flight training in the United States. Can the Embassy perform fingerprinting for the TSAs Alien Flight School Program (AFSP) ?
The Embassy is unable to capture fingerprints for the AFSP at this time. However, there are currently five locations outside the U.S. where pilots can complete the fingerprint process by trained and background checked fingerprint collectors that meet TSA AFSP requirements. The Transportation Clearing House website has further information. Please see www.tsc-csc.com/printoffices for more information. Alternatively, in a substantial change to TSA policies on fingerprint collection, the TSA will now permit fingerprint collectors certified by NATA Compliance Services to fingerprint candidates who apply for training at the flight school where the collector is located, in addition to candidates who apply for training at other flight schools. For more information on the NATA Compliance Services certification process, please see www.natacompliance.com. It is also possible to obtain preliminary approval from TSA by email so that the paperwork can be pursued to obtain a visa. This will allow you
