Faa website isn't that helpful
Yes it is....

61.75 Private pilot certificate issued on the basis of a foreign pilot license.

As for commercial...you need to do the exact same as everyone else...pass the written, oral and practical test:

61.123 Eligibility requirements: General. Commercial Pilots

Just like Whirlygig states---it is not much use unless you are legal to work in the US.
