FAA PPL status question

Hi all,

I was issued a FAA PPL issued on the basis of JAA PPL in 2007. In September 2008, I gained a JAA CPL. In 2015, I have upgraded to an EASA ATPL.

I wish to go back to the US this year or early next to do a spot of SEP flying and would like to find out the following:

Is my FAA PPL still valid considering I now hold an EASA ATPL? (The FAA PPL was originally issued on the basis of my PPL, not the now ATPL)

Also, currently my SEP rating on the EASA license is expired (listed in the previously held ratings table). I want to head over to the US with the intention of getting a little SEP training and then subsequently a checkride with the express aim of having the SEP rating on the FAA license only. Is that a possibilty? Does this count as "training" and therefore require a training visa?

I've fired off a question to the FAA too.

Thanks
