Question Atco in USA?

How hard is it for a British ATCO to become an ATCO in the US? I know historically, the FAA have never really acknowledged the CAA Licence...does that mean you would basically have to start training all over again?
Also, Are the FAA like NATS where they just send you where they want to, or can you apply for a specific airport?

This query is regardless of Visa issues etc, just wondering how possible it was if one planned to go there in the long term...anyone have any experience or in the know?

Thanks. DAL
