Flight school for non USA citizens

hallo

I'm looking for a training school. (I hold a JAA CPL (A) IR SE ME piston land) with about 500h, currently doing a CFI training. (So I don't need the full training) and I also hold a JAA CPL (H), FAA PPL (A) & (H) based on a foreign license. (I did some hourbuilding in the US in 2004)
I would like to have the FAA licenses (CPL (A) IR SE ME, CFI SE ME IR) and maybe CPL (H)

2 possible options:
1) I go to a very cheap and/or small flight school that can accept foreign students. And don't want to sell very course again.

2) I can spend a little more and have some kind of agreement to be able to work as a CFI in the training school for a few months.

Can someone give me some info in which order I should do the training to be cost effective.

Yes I've been mailing flight school for the past 6 months, but their is not really a flight school that is looking for a deal, I guess....? I thought the aviation business in the states were having some difficult times finding students and making money????

Can someone please give me some flight schools to do the training. If I can do the training and rating outside the US for less money, than that's also an option.

If some of the AC are equipped with G1000 that's a plus.

If someone can give me some info on where I can get a seaplane rating and FAA CPL (H) very cost effective.

If someone is in need for a pilot for a project, please let me know (I would consider doing a self payed type rating if it gets me flying => skydive, crops, small cargo,...)

thank you
I'm sorry if this question has already been posted, but I haven't found an answer in the posts.

Plenty of info for you

Hey mate,

I'm an Aussie on the east coast of the U.S and have just completed the full deal here. Through to CFI etc.

Send me a private message and I'll fill you in. I went to a great school, they are much smaller than a FL school, but not ridiculously small. They have 3 G1000 aircraft, a twin, Cessnas and Diamond.

I did a lot of research an dthink I found a happy medium... there may even be job prospects.

Tim.
