This may not be relevant to you JT8, as you don't say where you're based or why you want it, but...
If you are UK based, with a professional licence, then the UK CAA considers all UK professional licences to have embedded privileges of the IMC / IR(R) rating. So if that would deliver what you actually want - the ability to route IMC/IFR and take approaches whilst flying privately, then all you need is to pay your £40 (or whatever it is at the moment) to have a UK CPL or ATPL issued, if you haven't got one already. Not as powerful as a full IR of-course, but if it meets your needs, a very cheap fix (and probably worth doing anyhow, even if you do get a full SE-IR.
