Me giving a MEI instruction

Hello all, looking for some confirmation on my belief that I am allowed to give instruction to an MEI applicant specifically because he is not an initial CFI applicant. I do meet the requirement of more than 200hrs of dual given but do not meet the requirement of having the instructor's certificate for more than 24 calendar months. However, according to 61.195(h) those requirements need only be met for instructing an applicant for their INITIAL cfi. This applicant is going for the add-on.

Please confirm/correct my idea. The applicant's CFI has expired and is using the MEI checkride to renew it, if that has any revelance.

Thanks

Post Script- I'll have the MEI once I begin giving the instruction
 
I did multiple CFI-addons at ATP only a year after I got my CFI. That reg applies to initial CFI candidates only.

I was going to say including mine, but you only did my comm-se. The new guy did my single engine CFI add-on.

Kind of funny having 2 guys with the exact same amount of experience and one signs off the other for his CFI checkride.

When my instructors recieve their CFII or MEI, they start training other CFII's and MEI's the next day. You need not be a two year for anything other than a students first CFI certificate (So what I'm trying to say is 'YES').

Just make sure that, as the MEI you have the five hours in the make and model of aircraft that you will be giving dual instruction in.
