Indeed: I made the trip to Denham a coupla years ago where she dealt with me professionally and in a friendly manner.
There was a bit of a wait but not too long.
Her presence doesn't absolve you from the CAA authentication letter /nominated FSDO bit though so it's as well to get that out of the way before you see her>
Check with her by email which FSDO is required ISTR when I went it was NewYork FSDO.
I paid $220 in greenbacks for 61.75 conversion to plastic/addition of English Proficiency: much cheaper (in time as well) than a trip to USA.
Highly recommended.
