EASA to FAA

Hello all,

Hope you can help. I have an EASA issued licence and I have an SEP and 737NG rating attached to that licence. I have just over 1500 hours TT and 1300 on the 737NG. I also have my ATPL unfrozen. I am current on the above ratings.

What I would like to achieve:

I want to be be able to get an FAA licence (also keeping my EASA licence!). If a corporate job came up flying a bizz jet, I can then fly an N reg and attach a FAA type rating to that licence.

What I've been told:
1) sit the ATP exam, then do a 737 rating and combined with your LST, you'll get the CPL/ IR check ride.

2) sit the ATP exam, hand it into your local FAA Licencing Dept. They'll recognise your ATPL unfrozen, and your ratings. They might put a restriction on your 737 rating e.g VFR only. And that's it. as the ATP is only an exam and it's basically a CPL. So having done that I can then do a rating on whatever aircraft and off I go.

3) go to flight school and and to the MEP CPL MEIR course.
