And i hope If i complete BSc or BA from say TESU in next 12 months, if i am able to gather all credits in next 2-3 months, So probably starting remaining credits with TESU Jan'23.This seems reasonable, yes. It might or might not take you a little bit longer than that.

I am not an immigration lawyer, but I do not think that they will care. As long as the degree is legitimate, that's what they care about.

I know this group is not related to this, but maybe you might have asked this question earlier...Again, not a lawyer, but I really don't think they'll care about online vs. in-person. It's possible that they might have cared 5-10 years ago, but a lot of students have been doing online university for the past 2+ years because of COVID. You'll just look like a normal student at this point.
Even before COVID, it's also not been unheard of for students at in-person universities to take as many classes as they could all year long, instead of going home for breaks. This way, those students could graduate in 2 or 3 years and not the usual 4-6 years that the average American Bachelor's degree is supposed to take. Hurrying through university is common in the US, but not everyone is able to do it.

If anyone does question you about the length of time, there are many ways to make this look like a good thing during an interview:
- Say you heard about American-only universities like WGU that could be completed quickly, so you wanted to challenge yourself to obtain a similar degree.
- Say you already had the knowledge, so you only needed to take the exams to prove that you had mastered the subject.
- Talk about how this was the best way for you to get a degree while also working.

The ASNSM in Mathematics can be completed while doing the BACS at TESU. If you do the two degrees separately, the cost is much higher. If you do multiple degrees at once, there may be no additional TESU costs for tuition or fees and this makes the additional degree "free". Of course, there are costs associated with the additional Sophia/Study.com courses. But these are minimal.
The ASNSM Math only requires a few additional math courses beyond the courses that are needed for the BACS. You can see course suggestions here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...athematics TESU has the degree requirements listed on this page: https://www.tesu.edu/heavin/asnsm/mathematics
Similarly, there are also certificates that you can obtain "for free" when getting a degree from TESU. The Operations Management certificate is very easy to get with the Computer Science or BSBA CIS degrees. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...Management Most of the Operations Management courses are ones that you would need anyway for either the BACS or the BSBA CIS. I do not think that any of the certificates would add value to your plan, but I mention them for the sake of awareness.
Because you are interested in Data Science/Data Analytics, I do think that the additional Mathematics degree makes a lot of sense for you. Having more math classes, especially STA-399 from a Coursera certificate, could look good if you decide to get a Master's in Analytics.

That would be almost as fast as the the BACS alone. I definitely would not do the BACS + Data Science degree. Even if there are discounts for Statistics.com, I do not think that the courses are self-paced. They also start on specific dates. Unlike Study.com & Sophia, you cannot start them whenever you want to. I think it would take at least a year to complete just the Statistics.com courses.
Getting the ASNSM in Mathematics + BACS is a good idea.

Will see what is the best option, The websites / option you shared will check them out too.Okay. If the IELTS does not cost much money, that is good. You will still need at least 30 university credits to get a TESU degree. XAMK is good for that.
