EASA PPL to FAA PPL

Greetings all,

I am looking for an up to date process or the following.

I have an EASA PPL right now, I do not have a Part 61.75 however I am moving to the USA to live.

What is the current process of converting my EASA PPL to a Full FAA PPL?

what is the process and any additional training?

The simplest way is to do the FAA written and take a checkride, i.e. ignore your EASA PPL. Your existing experience all counts. The only training is whatever you think you need to pass the written, plus enough dual to feel comfortable with US ATC and airspace.

There may be some kind of formal conversion process but the above is so simple, not sure why there's be a reason to do otherwise.
