My 2 cents: Really try to figure out exactly what you're trying to do here. If fast tracking immigration is your goal, definitely look at exactly what kind of degrees qualify (probably some sort of STEM). I'd seek out resources from the immigration official page, but also try to get a hold of someone or find info in a forum specifically dedicated to that topic. If you don't have to (and don't want to) take 4 semesters of calculus to achieve your goal, there's no sense in doing it. But on the flip side, you don't want to get a degree in underwater basket weaving and think it qualifies as STEM only to find out another degree is what you needed.

As far as employment goes: I don't know how important a masters degree is in most fields. Everyone in my office has one and we all work for a guy who just barely got a bachelors. It is a lot of time effort and money and I think you need to start with an end in mind. Before getting your bach, that end is kind of hard to see. Not to say no one should get a masters, just saying you should consider what it will do for you before just deciding to do it. Again the immigration question is one aspect, research it to see how much a masters is really going to help. For employment purposes, you might start working in cloud computing and figure out an MBA in Information Systems is where you really need to go. Or you might find that you're working with data a lot and you can easily take the next step to data science with a data science masters. Sounds like you probably have some business acumen, and maybe that will supersede any of it. Plenty of execs out there with just a bachelors too.
