I can only report my personal experience. My own USATT rating was in the 1500 to 1530 range, whereas in Germany I generally fit into the "Bezirksklasse" or "Bezirksliga" (depending on how it's named in the various states).
A guy I used to know in the USA was rated around 2300, and he was one of the top players in the "Oberliga" over here.
So that's two data points, not statistically valid, but enough to extrapolate from and get yourself into trouble :-)

I was born in Austria (Ich bin gebuertiger Oesterreicher) and played in Austria for a few years but I increased my level significantly in the US.. I'm now rated 2129.. I've read that this would be Verbandsliga level in Germany but I can't imagine that I'm playing that high level.. When I left Austria in 1996, I played 3. Klasse in Wien (negative Bilanz). I got my initial rating of 1881 in the US in the year 2000 and am now rated 2129.. My best success so far was a win against a former world ranked player who was #550 in 2003 and was rated 2350 when I beat him..
