I also have an EASA license full ATP with 737 on it 300-900 and have over 3000 hours 737 time, and converted but converted through my Canadian ATPL not my EASA for the simple reason, A UK ATPL would have given me an FAA private licence.
Best thing to do so you have first hand information is contact a FISDO office and talk with an inspector. This is what I did before my move from Europe and it was him who told me exactly how to do it. I was employed out of Manchester UK before the move, I am currently living in Florida and employed with a 121 carrier here now. So I did the full meal deal including green card ect.
