Forgot to mention, found a "executive" flighschool, wich has flight instructor, that is insured for meridian, so should be good for insurance, for visas (that require the instrument rating to be in the school, where your current i20 is) and for TSA

2 - Purchase by foreign

The foreing pilot knows how to fly instrument, doesnt have a rating though,
The instructor has alot of hours in meridians.

Idea is to combine both.
Giving experience hours in the airplane, a instrument rating, and all the diferences training (pressurization, icing)

FS and SIMCom very good, but not the only way to learn

Also its not that much diference to do the instrument in the private TP airplane than a cirrus, and the cirrus wont make you ready to fly the TP.

Seems fine for me.

Might consider going to FS or SIMCOM before the IR training. For diferences training. If instructor feels its better to do so.
