kindly suggest a good flying School

Do use caution when choosing. It is much easier to get the student visa for a FAR 141 school, especially if it deals with international students frequently. You may also qualify for some financing that way as well. After choosing a school, go to www.flightschoolcandidates.gov You will need their approval before being allowed to begin training.

What is the difference between part 141 and part 61 ??

The primary difference between Part 141 and 61 is the curriculum and training methods they use. Part 61 is your typical local FBO with a couple CFI's. Part 141 requires special certification and is much more regulated by the FAA. As such, it allows a 141 school to train and certify their pilots in much less time (i.e. 190 hours for commercial as opposed to 250) which also means saving some bucks. Usually a busy training environment with several stage checks along the way. A 141 school will have more financial options for their students and usually offers college credit for courses completed. This is possible because the 141 school is viewed as a 'higher education' center instead of a local FBO. Back to the point i intended, however, it is usually easier to obtain the flight training visa for a 141 school than a 61 school.

I hope this helps on your quest. I also suggest looking at www.ScottsdaleFlightAcademy.com Their website does a good job of explaining what kind of things you should look for in a flight school and what charcteristics you should aviod when choosing a flight school.

Any Q's feel free to PM me.

it sounds like you will probably do a JAA course so the 141/61 wont apply to you.

Flight Safety in Vero Beach, FL hands down is the best. Great Maintenance, airplanes but expensive.

Some great advice in the previous posts no doubt. Find something that includes housing. Prarie Air does and that other place that includes the hotel in FL does. Stay away from DCA, Pan Am, RAA or similar. Try not to spend more than 40 grand U.S. $$ for the Commercial. What country are you from?
