Marker inbound: This does not apply to Restricted or validations. Thanks anyway.
Whopity: Thanks for your reply... Problem is, if I do start the new process now, I will need to present myself to a FSDO as you say and this seems to be time limited. I'm not planning on going to the US this year. Just got back from a flying holiday... Not sure what would be the best plan of action.
