@IA_288, LOL, yes from a previous post, I already know you have a MBA, Business Analytics or Engineering Management degree you're interested in but have not decided on the school. I should have been more clear, have you looked at specific schools already in California? Is there a particular school that offers a Masters in one of those fields you're interested in? The reason I asked is because I want to see if it's "suitable" for you or not... but it seems you've not decided on that as of yet. So here goes...
We're about the same age! You've provided a concise, condensed introduction, answered questions, and provided more details when asked, but the template addendum hasn't been completed in full. There are two things I really want to know, what commitments do you have? Have you married, got kids, etc? You've been transparent with your intentions of coming to California, but what is the personal reason, are you wanting to permanently move here? The following is what I recommend...
Your initial evaluation from ECE designated your Bachelors as an Associates (US RA Equivalent), let's assume your WES will designate that as a Bachelors (also US RA equivalent). Since you're from Spain, a very "logical" approach is to complete the Double MBA/Masters (of your choice at ENEB/UC1) and use Validential to evaluate it as a double MBA/Masters equivalent to US. That's now done, select a school such as Westcliff DBA with ACBSP accreditation and complete their program in two instead of 3 years if you cram your courses.
The Westcliff DBA is just an example, there may be "more affordable" options but most likely at the Masters level not the Doctoral level. Institutions such as these help with the F1 Visa, this particular DBA includes an internship so they help you "get" a job for the internship portion of the requirement, you may be able to extend that to a contracted or part time even a full time position to help with your "personal reasons for staying".
Westcliff DBA will cost about $46.5K USD, if you chose a cheaper option, the Masters in Engineering Management will be $26.5K USD, 2 years, with internship, I think all grad programs require this for their programs. This allows you to "skip" the Masters in Business or Data Analytics if you chose the ENEB MBA/Masters Big Data and continue on with Engineering Management and prep you for "jobs". Decide, it's up to you...
