Typically apps have you verify that you meet FAA 121 min requirements, which would include a FAA ATP (regionals usually only require that you have enough time to qualify for an ATP or R-ATP).
Your app would probably be rejected otherwise, and I would not misrepresent yourself by checking the box for a rating you don't yet have... good chance they'll notice eventually.
