Another one stupid question regaring flight training and business visa.

I'm holding B1/B2 visa. I'm going to visit the US in the nearest future for business needs. I'm going to stay for about 2 months and I'd like to spend my free time for private pilot license training.

Ok, it is not legal with my visa. I can't change my visa to M1 because I'm going for business needs and I won't be able to attend at Part 141 school.

Is there any legal step towards private pilot certification in my case?
Can I take some hours training without certification (of course with TSA clearance)?
Can I get some other kind of certification? For example, recreational or sport pilot.

Thanks for help!
