We are confused too. What is your endgame with this?

I have no idea whats gona happen because many people told me if i would do the IR and time building in the states and then go to a EASA school for the Ppl and IR conversion and go on with the CPL MEP ATPL
If anybody knows about a school they could recommend for this ?
Please help 😶😶😶😞

You are allowed to do your training while you study - you just can't take the skill test until you've done all the exams. With an ICAO ATP, it will typically take less than 6 months, here, at least, even with a full time job and two kids. It's 1500 hours as PIC on multipilot aircraft to self certify - 500 hours to avoid the full type rating course.

Are you talking about Aeroplane or Helicopter?
I'm confused, all the jobs in UK and Europe asks for EASA licence. Does that mean that one has to convert ICAO to EASA? or can one get a commercial job with ICAO licence in the UK / Europe.?
If upgrade means sitting for all the EASA ATPL papers again? Thanks.

Both! yes, you will have to convert - but you may be able to validate an ICAO licence for a year while you study. But you have to be enrolled on a course
