PM if you have any other questions so that people like Gordy wont be a pain in the arse with their comments!!
Translift:

Uncalled for I think, as you mentioned in your second post---it may take a week or two. Comment noted. Name noted. Good luck.

TTTE:

To continue: You may need an additional 10 hours after gaining an FAA pvt. You are required to have 10 solo flight time,in the areas of operation listed in Part 61.127. Even though you may have these hours--your logbook may not have been documented correctly. This is taken from the Licensing checklist produced by John Lynch--the FAA authority on the matter:

Except for Commercial Pilot applicants who complete a Part 141 approved Commercial Pilot Certification course of training, the “10 hours of solo flying . . . on the Commercial Pilot areas of operation” for the single engine airplane, multiengine airplane, helicopter, gyroplane, and powered lift ratings would need to reflect at least 20 hours of solo time in the “Solo” box of the aircraft category on the “Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application” (FAA Form 8710-1) to account for the Private Pilot solo aeronautical experience.
Licensing checklist

You may also need to accomplish the night time requirements--not sure if you have 5 hours of solo night or not. Bear in mind this has to be solo--as in you are the sole occupant of the aircraft---dual NOT allowed. Feel free to list your hours and I am sure someone can help you further.

Edited to clarify.
