Walter,
can you be a bit more specific by what you mean?
If you mean a Byzantine Church based in the Americas that have some degree of autonomy. There are at least two Churches that fit that profile. Within the Catholic Church, the Metropolia of Pittsburgh (Ruthenian) has no canonical relationship to the Mother Church in Europe. The Orthodox Church of America could also be called the American Byzantine Church. There are perhaps others.
