Get a medical take the ATPL exams and do an LST, either in the multi crew type you already have or with a new type rating. But why would you? To convert an FAA ATP to a UK ATPL requires you to have at least 500 hours as first officer. Why would you give up a job in the US?

I'm pretty sure you can't get integrated training in the US. There are some UK ATOs that do their initial training in the US but that's not quite the same thing. You are probably thinking about tagged or sponsored schemes - Good luck they do exist but it's like winning the lottery.

Why would they? Most of their students are American.
I think you need to do a bit more research. Learn the difference between CPL, fATPL and ATPL. Pros and cons of Modular vs Integrated etc. It's all on here.
