Maybe depeding on the company that you are wanting them to work. If you can show them you know what you are doing, I don't think they really care were you got your degree as long as you know what you are doing. While on the other hand they might care cause probably they never heard of the school you graduated from and they don't know if you just bought the degree off the street and made up the school name. So it all really depends on where you apply. I would ask the company first before i put an n app in so you don't waste your time

ofcourse, but the degree must be from the recognised university

The word "Accountant" is often restricted. You may get a job as "bookkeeper". You are unlikely to get anything more than an entry-level, low-pay job รข€” at least for several years if not forever. Many immigrants leave a professional career in their home country and find themselves at the bottom of the work ladder in the USA.
