Unless there were changes made in the last 5 years, the US FAA never validated foreign Instrument Ratings-- if you wanted an Instrument Rating with that you had to submit yourself to the written and practical exams in the United States.

The UK CAA charges 35 Pounds just for a letter certifying that your license is valid?!?!? Man, you people get bent over A LOT in the UK.
