JAA PPL(A) to FAA PPL? how do I do it?

Hello all, Firstly i tried a search but couldnt get the exact answers i need, so here goes.

I have a JAA CAA UK PPL(A) which I gained in Florida.
I hold a JAR class 1 and 2 medical and a FAA class 3 medical.

I cant afford to fly at the moment and am aware that my SEP rating will lapse very soon so my JAA PPL will not be current anymore until after college when I have more money hopefully I will get it revalidated.

I have heard that the FAA PPL is valid all the time, its not like the JAA one where you need 12 hours in your second year, so what I want to know is how do i convert my JAA PPL(A) to a FAA PPL(A).
I am aware that if you want to hour build in the states you need a restricted FAA PPL but this is only valid while your JAA PPL is valid? is this true??

Thanks for the replys guys.
