Tankengine - I agree and so I did.
I found their phone number and have them a call. They even have an option in their phone menu for foreign licence validation.
I spoke with a representative and she was able to get my application on the screen an it's currently processed. They are waiting for CASA. So CASA and FAA talkt to each other and I have to do nothing at the moment.
Well that sorted out.
Thanks for your help!
