True... he can have the solo hours already covered.

Based on my previous reply, it may not need be all "US". I'm sure the
required training for the endorsements needed from the recommending CFI need
to be covered by that CFI.

The FAR's just seems to require that he has the hours logged and
training on the subjects for part 61.whatever, they don't say anything
about requiring the training to be in the US. I guess the fundamental
question is if the foreign training counts. Only the FSDO will know
that one.
