Assuming you have the cash (the cost of course plus ample for living and a reserve) you'll have to somehow persuade the Feds that you are not a potential terrorist nor likely to be an overstayer. They'll also make sure (via what the Feds. will call legal means) that you have no criminal record anywhere nor association with communists (free country!). They'll also be very aware of bogus (419 style) paperwork like bank statements, educational qualifications, employment records etc. which many of your fellow countrymen have proffered in the past.
But if this is not enough, you might like to try Australia, New Zealand or South Africa as places to learn to fly.
