Typically , community colleges are two year associate degrees. Visa requirements usually require a four year bachelors. I know there are even issues with people who have three year BA degrees because immigration seems to have it stuck in their head that western university = 4 years or more, and no one could possibly ever do it in three.

Also if your physical copy says diploma not degree, even if it IS a degree, immigration usually requires to to go through all sorts of channels to prove it actually is a four year equivalent degree.

So, possibilities? Bad with as many BA holders currently in Japan and out of work. Chances less? Even less than they were a few years ago, unless you already have a visa.

...Uhm. If you don't have under a 2.0GPA some four year institution should accept you, somewhere. Just be prepared for it to be private and expensive. How are your standardised test scores?
