The FAA reg is 3 hours of flight training in the 60 days preceding flight test.
We can count at least 1.5 that would normally have been a checkout/flight review so that leaves the remaining 1.5 and the 1 hour flight test.
From my experience, a pilot who has never flown in the US tends to feel happier with a couple more hours under their belt and possibly a small x-country to show them the ways of the world.
Written test can be completed in the UK prior to arrival in the US.
Another thought that the FAA has not thought of is a student pillot certificate. An easier way to fly is to get one of these, couple of hours dual ie the equivalent of a Flight review, except this is for the solo review for the Instructor to endorse for solo. Then the pilot can fly on his/her own, acruing hours P1 as long as the Instructor endorses the P1. There does not appear to be any restrictions on this???
