License Conversions & Training For The States

Heya pplz, I am currently undergoing training for CPL heli in New Zealand and am really keen on getting into the states-like every1!
I have heard that an option to gaining entry to the states could be stopping short of gaining my CPL here and finishing training in the states. Am unsure of the exact in and outs but is this possible? My idea was to sign up 2 a training org, finish training, and possibly do a CFI and get a visa (J1) through them.
Does this work? are there any catches??
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
