Converting CASA PPL to FAA PPL. How long did it take you?
You want to think twice about the commercial requiring TSA approval? Your first does (unless it's a 61.75, glider or balloon.) The IR does because that gives you a new skill set and the MEL does for the same reason. And all types do. But getting a commercial does not necessarily mean "bigger, faster or heavier." Going from a private SEL to a commercial MEL would, but not because you're getting the commercial, because you're getting the MEL.

need some help!!
I have my temporary FAA PPL based on my foreign PPL licence and recently got my FAA IR(US test passed) so my question is since i flew all my instrument hours with my instructor and did part 141 so i never did Flight Review.So now to act as an PIC for any future flights do i need to do Flight Review or my Instrument rating checkride will count as an Flight Review for my BFR?
thank you

been waiting for a month and FAA's response on my enquiry of status still remains as "As of today, we are waiting on verification from Australia.".
...casa is taking longer than i initially expected.

Took me just under 3 weeks to convert a CAA CPL to FAA.... 4 months later I'm still waiting for the FAA to receive verification of my CASA Instrument rating. You have to submit the relevant form to casa AFTER the FAA has made a request, which only delays matters further.

I had a similar situation with my home CAA. Turns out they had lost the foreign request, so suggest that you don't wait too long before nudging them to respond to the FAA.
And yes, you will need a BFR.
And the guy above quoting 14 CFR Part 61.56(d)(1). is misleading in the context of this thread. That part states "A pilot proficiency check or practical test" counts as a BFR , not any new certificate issue. The question he was answering was an IR checkride so he was right but for a 61.75 certificate issue you need to get a BFR to use it.
You can use either a verified CASA medical or get an FAA medical by the way.
