FAA PPL Conversion

Hi all....

I am looking to get a FAA PPL issued based on my current JAR ATPL, which was issued in the UK.

I am have all the forms I require but I am a little confused as to what the process should be.

I know I need to contact the UK CAA for them to verify my licence first but after that, can I arrange an appointment at a FSDO or do I still have to send the paperwork to the FAA and then follow that up with a visit to a FSDO?

Also, my Class 1 medical has been downgraded to a Class 2 as my last medical was more than a year ago and I am not using my ATPL for commercial privileges at the moment. Will a Class 1 that is downgraded to a Class 2, cause any problems with the FAA.

Many thanks!
