@girlmeant2fly... just out of curiosity, why do you want a European license?
Here is my take on your situation (without knowing the full details).
1. There are very very few jobs in Europe, and they will go to EU citizens first. If you only have right to work, the chances of getting a job are even more reduced. But when I say few jobs, I mean that most guys I know aren't finding jobs.
2. Doing a conversion is very expensive. It will cost you near €15,000 or more if you are converting the CPL and IR.

3. Keeping a European license current is much more costly than keeping an FAA license current. Keep that in mind.
My advice would be to put the idea of a European license on tAhe back burner for now. If I were you, I would build up my time and experience to get hired at a regional airline in the US. After gaining an ATP and 500 hours on a multicrew aircraft, a conversion will be less costly and you will get your EASA license when you need it, and not many years before.
