This is the updated version of what is needed to instruct JAA students on an FAA CFI licence. The new part which is worrying, is section 8. From what I can see, it basically says, if you have ANY JAA licence, you have to then be a dual rated instructor to instruct JAA students in the States. If you only have FAA licences then you're ok. sorry this is a bit long winded, but it should answer this question.

SECTION 7 – APPL ICATION AND AUTHORISATION
Application for Authorisation should be submitted on SRG Form 1180 [Annex 1] available on the CAA web site. This should be submitted together with the standardisation training records and skill test report to Approvals Support. Approvals Support will issue an Authorisation document [Annex 2] which details the course on which the instructor can teach, the name of the school and expiry date of the authorisation. Instructors authorised in this way may not instruct in a JAA Member State, instruct for a FI rating, instruct for MCC. Instruction may only be given to students who have sufficient knowledge of the language in which the instruction is given.

SECTION 8 - HOLDERS OF A JAR-FCL LICENCE
FAA licensed and rated instructors who hold a JAR-FCL licence may not take advantage of the requirements above and should convert their FI rating by completion of the minimum requirements laid down in LASORS part H para H1.10. This includes the standard pre-course experience requirements followed by a minimum of 15 hours flight training and 30 hours ground training with a FIC Instructor at an Approved FTO before undertaking a test with a Flight Instructor Examiner. This will qualify the instructor to give instruction up to PPL(A) level. In order to instruct for the CPL, IMC/IR or MEP ratings the standard requirements for all JAR-FCL rated instructors apply.
