Question Visa for flighttraining in US

Hi there!
Planning to go to California in April to do my FAA CPL (currently holding JAA CPL frozen ATPL) with Air Desert Pacific.
O.k.: I know I will need to apply for a M1 visa to do the training there..
But: I am also planning to join a first officer program with Alpine Air directly after issuance of the FAA CPL.
The program will include also a type rating for the B 1900 and of course some flying in aircraft with MTOW >12.500lbs. Furthermore it will be another trainingfacility then Air Desert Pacific (in this case Alpine Air).
Now my question:
I was being told to apply for the M1 visa via ADP and when visa issued to inform Alpine that they can start the backgroundcheck because of flying ac >12.500lbs.

Is this really possible to do both trainings in a row on the same visa? Or do I have to apply for a new visa for the part with Alpine?

Thank you for any comments
