US qualifications transferable to the UK?

Hi guys I just graduated from an ATC-CTI school in America. I also have passed the ATSAT exam (the American FEAST test) and so now am waiting for a job offer from the FAA.

However working in the states is my back up option (especially since the current time from graduation to pick up is 2 years). I definitely want to be a controller in the UK if possible. I've been out of the NATs application process for about a year and a half now but I assume it is pretty much the same as when I last had a go.

Could graduating from one of the best ATC colleges in the US and having passed their version of the aptitude test allow me to have a different or shortened version of the standard NATs application process?

I recognize this is probably not the case but it's something I'm interested in having a look at. Can somebody suggest a specific person or department within the recruitment team of NATs that I could contact in relation to this?

Any help or thoughts are appreciated.
