Flight schools

I'm currently at a flight school in the US, but the communication is awful and scheduling a plane is a nightmare. I’m thinking about transferring to another academy to finish my program, but I'm worried about losing my hours or messing up my student visa status. Has anyone done this successfully?

I actually went through this exact mess a few months ago. It is definitely possible without losing your progress. When I decided to switch, I read a guide on how to transfer to Pelican Flight Training and it made the whole process way less stressful. They lay out a clear 5-step transfer process right on their site, which took away all the guesswork. The best part is that all your logbook hours and FAA written exams transfer over directly. For Part 141 credit, they just do a quick proficiency and knowledge evaluation to see where you stand, so you don't waste time or money. Plus, if you are an international student, their DSOs handle the SEVIS record and Form I-20 transfer really smoothly. It completely saved my training timeline.
