Hi Trini,
No problem at all.
Just one note, if you have decided on where to do your hours building then under section 4 of the FAA form you can have the Verification Letter sent to the Schools address instead of your home address, this is useful if you're running low on time.
I had to get a verification letter as although I already had the FAA PPL based on my CAA PPL issued nearly five years ago, I was to add an FAA IR to it. Before the examiner could do my test he had to see a verification letter from the FAA.
My verification process took two weeks from sending the two forms off to the flying school receiving my verification letter from the FAA.
Have a nice time in the USA and hope your cold gets better!
Best wishes,
Charlie Zulu.
