Hi ezhiil,
Have you looked into any cadet programs? I am currently in the process of applying to few such as the JetBlue Gateway Select program. I'm not sure if schools like these could offer you a visa but it would be a great place to start looking.
I am also new here and I am looking to meet people who are in the process of joining these programs. Regardless, let me know on what you end up doing!

There is no such thing like "the best school" since each individual has different expectations and a lot of other factors come into play, like personal budget, time frame, motivation, goals etc. If possible one should go and visit the school/s of interest, make an appointment so someone will be available to show you around and answer your questions. That's an excellent way to get your own picture of the school and also a very good opportunity to meet and speak to some students and see what they say. And of course you should visit more than one school, to be able to compare.

Anyway, check out the following link, it might provide some useful information.

Hillsboro Aero Academy

Good luck!
