Default FAA Licences in EU?

Hello,

I am european but I will come to live in the USA in a few years. For the moment i'm here, so to not waste time I wonder if it is possible to start my FAA training in Europe?

I know that for theory exams I will have to study in Europe and come to the USA for the exams. Well, I'll go through the theory when I will go to visit my GF in California.

Now my question is for practice, I will pass a European PPL and convert to FAA in the USA it's fast.
But for the rest how is it going? I know there are a some FAA instructors in Europe, but I can not find any examiners.

Can I fly with an FAA instructor in Europe and take my exam in the USA with an examiner when I visit my girlfriend?
To have counted hours in the USA, I have to fly on N planes in Europe?

I ask this question because I could not stay more than 2 months for the moment in the USA with my work.

Thanks guys!
