I don't have Airbus experience but I have some type rating on my CPL.
I think I meet US ATP requirement.

#1 Can I join US Airbus type rating course directly based on my license?
OR
Should I get US ATP(multi) before joining US type rating course?

#2 Part61.157(g)
There are requirement when we use SIM for type training.
At (g)-(3)-(ii), there are requirement for flight experience...
Does "Hold type rating" include "foreign type rating"?

I am happy if you could give me good advice.

U.S. Type ratings are performed to ATP standards. If you had the FAA ATP written completed, you could probably have an FAA ATP added to your license coincident to the type rating ride...and the Airbus type would be on your ATP, not a CPL.
