have you looked at FIT (Florida Institute Of Technology) Aviation in Melbourne, they have new PA28 Warriors and PA 44 Seminoles with Glass cockpit. Seem to be nice facilities too.

Also they've had their fair share of immigration troubles, last I heard their students were asked to leave the country within 24 hours or face a ban from entering the US.

To confirm US immigration law :
You would need an M1 visa to train for a PPL.
You would also need TSA clearance.

I've been training in Fort Pierce myself but at EFT, european flight training, on the ex-pan am academy site, as EFT moved there last month.

I've finished the PPL and I can only say good things about the school.
