FAA ATP to JAA ATPL

I am a Captain with FAA ATP type rated on CRJ200/700/900, >10000 hours and current.
I have passed the 14 exams UK CAA new syllabus theorical exams, an FRTOL level 6 and a 1st class CAA medical.
I am scheduled to do a type training on a CL604 for a Europeen employer left seat. While I am trying to schedule the type ride for issuance of the ATPL and type, I have learned that only a CAA inspector can do the ride for the issuance of an initial ATPL, not a TRE.
The CAA requested 12 to 14 weeks to schedule an inspector and I cannot wait that long at the risk of losing my job. The delay is very frustrating.

If I were to do a JAR commercial in the U.S (can be done in a week). Would a CL604 TRE be able to issue me a valid JAR instrument and ATPL after the type training on the CL604, instead of having to wait for an inspector?

Thanks in advance for any advices anyone may have
