Confused Brit looking for advice

[BritStudent]

Hey, I wonder if someone can give me some advice. I've been reading all around the Wiki and the forum, but there's just so much information to take in and it feels like I keep disappearing down a new rabbit hole. Just a bit overwhelmed and not sure how I should go about beginning to plan. Should I just be trying to get my UK credits reviewed by something like WES before I think about anything else? It feels a bit chicken and egg, I can't pick a school and subject until I know what I can transfer, but I won't know if they will transfer until I pick a course and enroll?

Location: UK - could establish EU citizenship but process may take 9/10 months.
Age: 45
Target university: Cheapest possible, which seems like it might be UMPI?
Aims / degree aims: I'm currently just finishing my second of three years for my Cyber Security degree with the UK Open University. This is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. I plan to complete this degree, but as I'm studying part time that's going to take two years. I'm hoping that I can gain a US bachelors and then a masters degree within the same time frame or less. My ultimate aim is to work in cyber security in the US, which will require a H1B and thus the masters will help with that.

In terms of the actual degree subject, I'm fairly flexible, Comp Sci would probably be the most ideal, cloud computing would also be good, but open to non-tech degrees. Would probably prefer not to do a second Cyber security bachelors, unless it made a big difference in cost and access to a cyber security masters.

Budget: Ideally looking to complete a bachelors for under $5-6k, but the lower the better.
Commitments: Work and some other study commitments, but fairly flexible.
Dedicated time to study: I can get a lot of free time to do this, I'll be working from home mostly so won't have a commute.
Timeline: As quick as possible, ideally hoping to do this within roughly six months, or if that's not possible, a year.
Tuition assistance / reimbursement: No, although about to start a new job that may get me free or discounted access to IT certifications.

Current Regional Credited Credits:

I'm currently two thirds of the way through a Cyber Security degree with the UK Open University. This is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The 240 credits mentioned below are the UK version of credits. I understand these may translate to around 48 to 60 in the US system.

Code:

Module - Module Name                                 - Credits - Year  - Result
T175   - Networked living                            -   30    -   1   - Pass
M150   - Data, Computing and information             -   30    -   1   - Pass
MU123  - Discovering mathematics                     -   30    -   1   - Pass
TM129  - Technologies in practice                    -   30    -   1   - Pass
TM257  - Cisco networking (CCNA) part 1              -   30    -   2   - Grade 2
TM255  - Communications and information technologies -   30    -   2   - Distinction
TT284  - Web technologies                            -   30    -   2   - Grade 2
TM256  - Cyber Security                              -   30    -   2   - Probable Distinction

T175, M150 and MU123 were all taken 2009/2010 if that matters, the rest are since 2021. All first year courses are pass / fail, rest are graded from distinction, grade 2, grade 3, etc.

I also have all 8 MS Fundamentals certs taken this year, about to complete the Coursera IBM Cyber Security cert. They are recommended as being worth 20 total for the 8 MS and 10 ACE credits for the IBM cert, although I know some award less.

I have Linux+ and L-PIC1 and VMware VCP-6DCV completed in 2019. I also have Network+ and Security+ passed in 2010. I plan to be taking quite a few more over the next year, mainly MS certs, but also AWS, Oracle OCI, Nutanix and possibly VMware, GCP and CCNA. Will also have the GSEC in a few months.
