You may not have a US certificate anymore, you'll need to check.

A friend of mine had a US certificate based (PP-ASEL) on a UK PPL. He made
an appointment for an IFR checkride and was told that all certs based on
foreign licenses had been revoked. He had to take the PP and IR checkride
the same day.


I think something got lost in the translation. I believe there may
have also been a temporary prohibitation on issuing US private
certificates on the bases of foreign tickets. That's probably what
happened to your friend. He probably showed up to get a US ticket on
the bases of his UK and then take the checkride but the FSDO was
temporarily unable to do the issuance. BTW: What good is the IFR
rating in the U.K.? Is it true you need to have an ATP to fly real IFR
in the U.K. in a U.K. registered aircraft?
