When you have completed the course, you need to send the completed application form (signed by the training provider etc) with a cheque, and your log book to the CAA (I presume you mean UK CAA). You dont need to send the license as they will return the log book with a new page for your license saying the privilege can be exercised at night. In the meantime you can still fly, but not at night until the paperwork comes back.

Is it possible to fly this 5 hours for NQ in USA (i would like to make also FAA-PPL soon) and then use this flight time at night to obtain NQ from UK CAA?
Unless you are going to a school which specialises in JAR training, make sure that you know exactly what the requirements are (5 hours, including 1 hour navigation, and including 5 solo take-off and full stop landings), because FAA instructors can't be expected to know JAR requirements. Also, it'll help if you print off the application form from the CAA website and take it with, because your instructor will have to sign it.
Bear in mind that the FAA PPL includes night flying (except in Alaska, where special rules apply), so FAA instructors will not be used to teaching night flying to anyone with any experience - so they may not be quite sure what to do with you. Shouldn't be a problem, especially with an experienced instructor, but something to bear in mind.
You will find night flying in the US an absolutely pleasure, with almost every airport being available to you thanks to pilot-controlled lighting even after everyone has gone home.

No, that's not correct. JAR requires full stop landings. The reference is JAR FCL 1.125, paragraph c:
(Emphasis added by me.)

(c) Night qualification. If the privileges of the licence are to be exercised at night, at least five additional hours flight time in aeroplanes shall be completed at night comprising 3 hours of dual instruction including at least 1 hour of cross-country navigation and five solo take-offs and five solo full-stop landings. This qualification will be endorsed on the licence.
