Hello, i have just won a USA Visa lottery and planning to move to the USA. However i have ACCA, Bsc from Oxford Brookes and MBA from Coventry all in the UK. is there any prospect of getting a job with these qualifications?
Also, are UK qualifications recognized in the USA?
I may be able to help as I am a fellow Brit. First one all, I am pretty sure in the accounting world ACCA is recognised across the world. It's not as common as CPA (I believe) but it should hold you in good stead. However Oxford Brookes and Coventry will have 0 recognition in the US. Having an MBA should help but from a "no-name" school I'm not sure you will be able to compete against the large number candidates with USA brand name MBAs. Realistically, you would probably be looking at a lower tier job vs standard exit opportunities compared with someone who has a brand name MBA from the US. As for Oxford Brookes, you may get luck and have people think it's actually Oxford.
