Not in terms of getting to the US, the requirement is that the degree by obtained in the US to qualify for the MSN degree in terms of visas and getting things done faster. For the US, it also requires a job that requires the MSN, and most of those are for advanced practice or as a clinical nurse specialist and since nursing is so different in your country from the US, and the MSN in your country will not give you the advanced practice license here as well.

And there is no reason to pursue both degrees, just a duplicate of quite a bit that you will not receive credit for in the US and have to repeat as any degree from here requires that you spend a specific amount of hours in residence as they call it before they will issue the degree.

Most jobs in the US require the advanced practice licensure and without that, there are not going to be many jobs that require it for initial entry, so it would not make a difference in terms of getting a visa for the US.
