You cannot convert your license, you would have to do the 14 theoretical exams, and your PPL, CPL ME/IR exams. Since you already have practical experience, the theoretical part will be the hardest, and take at least a year of full time study. I did both, but the other direction, started in the EU and now in the USA, if I look at the working conditions in the EU now I am happy I moved here....
