Thanks in advance.
You need to find a school that is experienced with Indian students and DGCA requirements and the potential pitfalls with conversion.
Pilot schools can be found on the FAA website.

Thanks for your response! I have heard good things about PEA. Is it really a good school for my CPL?

Stuck between Phoenix East Aviation and Hillsboro Aero Academy.

Hey blokes,
I have researched about flight schools offering an F-1 Visa in the USA and have singled out PEA and Hillsboro Aero amongst them. My ultimate goal is finish my CPL (maybe also CFI/CFII) and come back to India and get my license converted. Just want to get some reviews of both the schools which would aid me in making a decision faster. Both have similar fleet and are highly rated. CPL costs are also mostly same. Thank you!
