    They are correct. You may only train at a Part 141 school and ONLY with an F1 or M1 visa. You cannot count any Part 61 hours and that training MAY be in violation of the terms of your M1. Go to a Part 141 school in your area as they will be familiar with your particular requirements/limitations.
