Question FAA v CAA Again !

As I understand it, if you go over to the USA with your UK PPL they will issue you with a temporary certificate to use while you are there. Once back in the UK an FAA PPL will land on your doormat a few months later , with something along the lines of "certificate is valid as long as UK PPL is kept up to date/current"
Well my question is, how do you obtain an 'Full blown' FAA PPL, one which does not 'ride on the back' of your UK one ?
When I go over to do my FAA IR , because I will have had to pass a theory exam and pass a flight test will that give me a stand alone FAA licence.
Your comments will be much appreciated.
