Transferring credits to study an MBA in the US

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...

Yes, I have not decided the school yet, I'm mainly looking at an MBA, from Westcliff, Humphreys, Sonoma State or San Francisco State.
About commitments, I have one kid, not married. 
Please allow me not to share, on a public forum, my motivation to come to California, it's personal, but to be clear, I'm not pursuing to permanently move here, as I said I'd like to complete the program in 1-2 years, work here with an internship (OPT or maybe CPT) and then come back to Spain when everything is done. International students can usually work off-campus since the second year, if job is related to studies, and approved by the counselor, as far as I know.

I'd like to find an affordable program and finish it asap, but that's not the main objective, which is to come to the US to study a Masters program (preferably MBA). 
Your option, to study at ENEB in Spain, it's a good point, but would hold me there for a while until I complete the program.
