You will first need to get an FAA CPL issued, but first you need a clearance from FAA and imigration I think, before entering the country for flight training.
Then go to the States roll up to the FAA ,they will issue a PPL H based on your CASA CPL, then sit your CPL exam and flight test and get your FAA CPL.
Then under go IFR training, do some in a fixed Wing Dual dont worry about not having a FW licence , they accept this, then sit your 1 ATP exam and flight test.
Your best bet is contact Ron Gudstafson at Avia flight Services in Corvallis Oregon , He has done dozens of Australian and NZ conversions to FAA, he is a good bloke and he will not misled you. he runs a good outfit and I am sure you will enjoy the experience.
Conversion to CASA I am not sure about but under the Kiwi system you must have gained 500 hrs on the ATPL before they will reconize it, but then again they are the NZ CAA
