No, because a Community College is only for two years. Most people go to a Community College for two years and then transfer over to a four-year university, to finish up the remaining two years and get their BA/BS.

There's a small @ss private community college out in the middle of nowhere here in NC, and if I must I would attend there and get some bachelor's degree in something (just to have a degree) But I have no clue if it's "nationally accredited" or not. Anyone know? Yes, no, maybe, probably. I know nothing.

As mentioned above, at a Community College, you can only obtain an Associates Degree. The requirement for a Visa is a Bacehlor's. You go to CC for two years and then transfer over to a University.
I'm sure you were taught this or your high school counselor went over the options you have after graduating from high school. To be honest, we were getting taught about this type of stuff as early as Elementary School around here. Not sure if that's the norm even now but it was for when I attended school (1986 - 1999).

I don't read the NYT, I don't know how 8.5% of unemployed people in America survive...

With a strict budget I suppose. *One of the 8.5% despite the fact that my state doesn't have a high unemployment rate compared to others*
Edit: Just noticed that the question had been answered. That aside, I pretty much went the route above. I did two years of CC, but I got a job, so I never did finish up to get my Associates from there because of the job. After I lost my job in 2007, I looked into Universities to finish up, since I knew a degree would help me in my job search. I transferred what I had over from the CC over to a University, and now I'll be done this upcoming June. ^_^ IMO, that's definitely the easiest, and more than likely,
cheapest, route to take. I do have a student loan payment, but it's way lower compared most people's I'm sure.
