European PE to USA M7 and then what?

So i come from the middle east, Undergrad in top Hospitality School in Switzerland, worked for a couple of years in Corporate M&A in the middle east and did some internships at KPMG deal advisory and an investment bank. Currently im at a PE 1B fund in Europe that specialized in Hotels, Restaurants and Hospitality Tech. Im applying to MBA's in the USA, im planing to go to a M7 and im wondering how competitive would my profile be for post MBA positions in the USA taking into consideration i dont have an American passport. Would i have a chance at a Mega fund? or should i forget it? And what are the best firms for H1B sponsorship?
