You can get the ATP and type rating in one checkride. You'd want to select the type you currently fly. The KMIA area is a hotbed of organizations doing such training. Good luck, you've got your work cut out for you.

You can not get the type rating in one check ride. If you want to have the typerating on your FAA ATP you have to do a type rating course in the US. You can however do a shortened one if you have experience already.
