There is a flight school that brings it's foreign students
to KMHV for training when the weather conditions impede flights
over the hill. Most are from Japan, I bet you are more understandable..

If you take the medical exam, its not because you are required to.

Its too bad that you made the FAA rep aware of your condition.
If the rep gets a burr under his saddle, you won't ever see an
end to the hassle he can cause.

IF there is any chance you could fail any aspect or question
on the medical, DON'T voluntarily take the exam.

Oh, by the way, when your medical records are "nationalized",
the FAA will probably ask you to stop by for a chat.
