Yes - doing a JAA CPL. There are currently about 4 or 5 schools in the USA who can do this (complete list is
here, as always).
Not certain on the rules for converting, as it's not something I've looked into. Off the top of my head, I think it's just whatever training your JAA-approved training organisation thinks is necessary, and then a skills test, but I may well be completely wrong.
