Not unusual. If you hold a foreign Commercial or ATP certificate the FAA will convalidate that into a Private Certificate based on that foreign certificate, and if you go through an ATP and type Rating training you will get an FAA ATP with that type rating, no longer subject to your foreign certificate.
