Is a Dual Degree in Management a Bad Idea if I Want an MBA?

I intend to migrate to the US, and I've found that getting an MBA is the most convenient way to network and get a job in IB or MC until I finally crack into PE. I realize this would be unnecessary under ordinary circumstances, but we all know it's practically impossible to get a job in the US with a European degree. I'll major in Business Analytics to be eligible for a STEM visa.

About me: I am currently studying a MSc in Finance. I think the dual degree in Management is a nice opportunity since I will be able to study in a partner university but won't have to pay tuition. I worked two years full-time after my BSc and counting. When I apply for an MBA in the US, I will have at least three years of full-time experience in a finance position and hopefully 720+ in the GMAT. I am aiming for T10.
