Any ICAO CPL or ATPL is sufficient to allow attempting an FAA ATP checkride. Make sure you meet all the hours requirements in accordance with the FARs. Pay particular attention to what counts as cross country time.

Generally the FAA doesn't transfer qualifications (except for a 61.75 validation and some design feature endorsements) so a checkride is required for the issue of a type rating. Whether a company will let you use their sim or aircraft without doing their training course is up to them.

BTW, no such thing as a frozen ATP. You either hold the ATP, or you don't.
