Convert JAA/EASA to FAA instructors Rating
I am trying to find information on converting my JAA flight instructors rating to a FAA instructors rating, has anyone got any experience converting it?

You will need to obtain a standalone FAA CPL/IR or ATP first, then:
1. Complete knowledge tests (FOI & CFI);
2. Minimum 3 hours training with FAA Instructor;
3. Complete CFI checkride (probably with FAA as its still considered as an initial instructor certificate;
4. Repeat for CFII and MEI. No additional knowledge test for MEI, and FOI does not need to be taken for successive add-ons.

Edited to add: Requirements at 14 CFR 61.181 et seq.
