From your controller :

Ctrl.isOuterFormValid = function() {
    var outerFormIsValid = true;
    for(var prop in Ctrl.formName) {
        //The form is only inValid if the property is not a new form and it is invalid
        if(pvCtrl.pvForm[prop].constructor.name !== "FormController" &&
           pvCtrl.pvForm[prop].$invalid){
            outerFormIsValid = false;
        }
    }

    alert(outerFormIsValid);
};

FormController is an Object that gives you information about your form state.
Adding a form to a form, with ng-form is adding a FormController property to your original FormController Object.

This has the advantage of not adding a html directive to all your input elements.
