Faa Atpl Class1 Medical ?

Helo ,

I am holder of jaa atpl, and now I am doing my FAA ATPL.
DOES SOMEBODY KNOWS WHEN FAA ISSUES TO ME ATP LICENCE, IS THERE ANY RESTRICTION HOW OLD OR NEW MY FAA MEDICAL MUST BE, CAUSE I WILL MAKE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME (I HAVE CLASS 1 JAA MEDICAL FOR YEARS, BUT NOT FAA)?

I'm asking that because I plan to go to Paris in April for ATP theory exam, then in May attend my ATP check ride sim in Miami,USA, so I dont know should I do it now or wait until May in order that FAA authorities can not tell me that I have to old FAA medical.

In my country there is no FAA medical examiner so I am obliged to have a small trip to get it. Other question is that I have JAA class 1 but expired 1 year ago since I am not working in aviation, should I take it to medical tests and is it harder to pass regarding JAA medicals?
