update user's profile field from another form

Here is what I need to achieve:

There is field "linkedIn url" in user's profile entity.
There is Event registration form on the website.
In the Event Registration form I would like to render field "linkedIn url" with value from the user's profile entity.
When user submits the Event Registration I want to save a value of the field to the database (to user profile entity of course).

I have an idea but not sure will it work:

Implement hook_field_attach_form to attach the field to event registration form and load value from Profile entity.
Implement hook_field_attach_submit to update/save data to Profile entity.

I would use the code below to update user field:

// load user object
$existingUser = user_load('USERID');

// create an array of properties to update
$edit = array(
  'profile_linkedIn url' => 'blah'
);

// save existing user
user_save(
  (object) array('uid' => $existingUser->uid),
  $edit,
  'Personal Information' // category
);

Any suggestions? thx!
