PPRuNe Forums - Help Help Help converting my licens from ICAO to FAA

Hello every body

Please I need your help explaining to me some questions:
1-my ICAO license is expired and I am planning to go to the state to convert it, shall I renew it first then apply for I-20 throw a school or I can apply without renewing and convert it there?

2- Converting the licenses is it includes PPL/CPL/IR? If its yes, what is the average time to finish each license?

3-what are the steps generally in converting the license and the syllabus?

4-many schools are offering different prices what is the right cost?

5-what shall I avoid while going to school because some schools trying to put extra charges for nothing?

6-please recommend me a good school because I didn't fly for three years and I need a refresh course so I can get thing back in shape?

You might answer my questions but also you will help many reading it.

Thanks in advance wish you all the best ALWAYS.
