Thank you for your feedback Merlin
What i mean when i said that i am looking for a degree because of "professional status" is: I am so outstanding in my current profession; but i am also the only one in my group who dont have university degree.
I never talk about my "lack of degree", and most of people just concludes that i have a degree because of my background... i even advice PHD people in my field...
So that why i feel weird without degree and also vulnerable.

Not many NA schools will accept federal financial aid but I know Columbia Southern U does.

This one looks a little more expensive that others, and i think that as international student i can't applied to federal financial aid.
Every NA university is just online?

Yes, technically many RA universities that have CBD (competency based degrees) do, Brandman is under Chapman University and allows unlimited certifications/credits to be transferred into their degree, but you still need to do 25% of the degree from them. Brandman has several degree offerings and is my fave as they accept Sophia, Straighterline, and Study.com as the main ACE providers, the ones newer to the "CBD" scene - and yet they are the more traditional B&M providers only have one or two offerings.

No, not all Nationally Accredited universities are online, in fact, only a few are... The only ones that are online are DEAC accredited, the other accreditation agencies may have some online certs, diplomas, even degrees, but the majority are not online.

Ashworth College is about $79 a credit and will allow challenge exams for $50 an exam for 30 credits. So you’re looking for about $2870 for sixty credits and books are included for the regular courses. And they always offer graduate degrees too.
Very ACE friendly and they have some good undergraduate certificates you can complete.

Penn Foster and Ashworth all the way. I just need a literal check box, doesn't matter where it is from NA/RA. I've done a semester at both and they are ridiculously fast. I finished two courses in two days at Ashworth, and 3 courses in a week at Penn Foster. These guys are faster than even study.com and straighterline in my opinion.
Ashworth has the easiest proctor exams so I'd recommend them. Penn Foster really isnt' bad either. It's a low-stress testing envrionment.
They offer a few Bachelor's as well and that's probably the route I'm going to take. If you just need a check box Bachelor's, Ashworth.
Edit: I looked at University of the People, they are painfully slow and an administrative nightmare. University of the People doesn't have a professional ring to it IMO. They are also semester based, slowing things down significantly. Ash and Penn are crazy fast.
Just curious, what major are you looking at?

I actually was looking for BSBA, because if i will do the whole process, it is better for me to at least learn something about business that is always good.
But BALS is ok for me too, after getting several Sophia courses i think i will be closer to BALS that BSBA, so i will reconsider it then...

BSBA should be crazy easy if you've got experience, but it's still got really good info in these courses. I'm doing Information System + Business Management + Technology Foundations from Penn and Ash as part of BALS and despite the speed there is usefulness in them.
There could be a benefit to getting a BALS and include Business + Accounting or Business + Finance + Computers...you get the idea. BSBA or BALS are a quick path to that credential. having something like:
Bachelor's of General Studies
-Business Management
-Finance
-Psychology
might make you stick out from a Bachelor's in Business Administration.
