Consulting for non-US MBAs in US?? |

Hi all,
i am a 2000 batch MBA from one of the world's top MBA schools (rated as the most difficult to get into & 5th best globally by The Economist, 2001) & also hold a Computers Engg degree prior to that..was among the only 10% students to make it to MBA without any prior work experience..
..at the peak of Nasdaq, declined offers from a couple of Big 5 to join a boutique US-based Supply Chain consulting firm... that turned out to be a total "misadventure" after the crash of the markets.. got the boot.. though i was able to salvage it to some extent by getting into one of the Fortune 500 companies in their Operations/IT divisions..
now, the problem I am facing is that I hold a non-US MBA degree which does not hold me in a very good position viz a viz US MBAs specially in the current market.. & if I dont get that recognition, I am stuck to typical IT work (because of my IT background), which means I start my career right from the bottom of the ladder..
I am looking forward to some serious recommendations/ advise on some of the options:
(1)Is it a good idea to go for another full time/part time MBA that gives me a US university backing?? specially if I want to make it big in US, will it be a hindrance if I hold a non-US MBA (however valuable that might be)?? (I happen to have a very high GMAT score)
(2)Are there any certificate courses / online education programs (catering to IT, Supply Chain & Operations)that are highly credited that can bolster my resume as I dont see much value addition to me professionally & personally in going for an MBA again (& of course the expenses)??
(3)Are there any other avenues (in addition OR as an alternative to further education) that I can try to pursue to get recognition??
Many thanks in advance..
