Chance me for UNC and other US universities for accounting masters

How does this compare to other students in your university? For example, does this put you in the top 50% of students? Does this put you in the top 25% of students? This does seem low for admissions to graduate programs in the US, but at least in my experience universities in the US seem to be aware of what typical grading scales are at universities in other countries.

Four years of working experience might help you in admissions for an accounting degree. Writing in English that is somewhat imprecise will not help you.

Actually Chapel Hill is not remote at all. It is one corner of the so-called “research triangle” which as you might guess from the name has quite a bit of research and many companies. It has been a while since I visited this area. My recollection from years ago is that the research triangle is somewhat suburban, with many companies located all over the area. This might be an area where you might want to be able to drive a car if you for example want to get to an internship or job. However…

For a US citizen, yes. Some jobs in the area will require military clearance (which is probably not obtainable without either permanent resident status or US citizenship), although I expect that many will not. The legal right to work in the US, such as a work visa, will however be needed, and will be very hard to get.

This is slightly low. Can you find a way to improve your English, and then retake the exam?

As @momofboiler1 says above, it is very difficult for an international student to obtain a visa to work in the US after graduation from a university in the US. You might under some situations be able to get a temporary visa to “extend you studies” with an internship in the US, but you should not plan on being able to stay here long term. Our incoming president and his administration are committed to getting people to leave who are in the US illegally, but I do not know whether this will result in more or fewer people being allowed to enter the US legally. I do not think that I would bet the next couple of years of my life or the cost of a master’s degree on guessing what the result of this will be.

And I do wonder about @thumper1 's question:

Master’s degrees are typically not funded, or perhaps are funded by the student or the student’s parents. You will need to show that you can pay the full cost in order to get a student visa to study in the US. Also, when applying for a student visa, if you tell immigration that “I intend to stay in the US after graduation” then this can be a reason to refuse to give you a visa. You are expected to return home after graduation.

This in turn raises the question: Does a degree from a university in the US help you get a job in your home country?

Bentley is well known in the US for accounting and a variety of other business degrees. However, I do not know how well it is known in your home country.
