Jaa Atpl to Faa Atpl

I know, probably this is already explained before but i went though previous posts and didn't find a short explanation.
I want to be able to fly in the USA so I need FAA ATPL.
I hold a JAA ATPL A-320 endorsement (1.000 hrs) with a total 10.000 hrs with an ICAO English level 5, so I guess I meet the requirements.
I live in Europe and would try to do any checks here but wouldn't mind to travel to USA to do this.
So here are my questions (if you guys are not tired of answering)
1-I need to study, where do I get the material? Books? Computer based?
2-Once I feel prepared (maybe a month?), where can I take the tests?
3-Is there an oral test besides the written/computer test?
4-After I get my pass score, can I take the flight test on an a-320 sim ride? Where?
5-Is that all? Do I get an unrestricted FAA ATPL?
6-When and where do I have to take my medical? I guess the JAA one is not valid...
Thx, I am really looking forward to complete this step in my life.
