Hi Andres,
I am also an European citizen (Belgium). My initial EASA Class 1 was denied and I received a Class 2.
I am also planning to go to the US for additional testing, so I'm kinda in the same situation. Would you like to have a conversation in private?
I was unable to message you, because your message box is full. If you click on my name you'll find you can contact me via email.
Kind regards,
Sip
