HL7700,

I figured you might have gotten the FAR 61.75 PPL to do your US flying.

It might be a while down the road but when you get closer to job hunting in the USA, before you spend money on an FAA license, be sure to check to see what companies, if any, are willing to provide an ATPL for you at no cost to you. Some companies are doing that for Australians so these airlines know how to do that...they just have to be willing.

It's impossible to know what conditions in the USA airlines will be a year from now but you certainly want to be sure it's necessary for you to spend your own money on a license. An FAA ATPL is an expensive proposition.

Hang in there.
