A NUS law degree is good enough to sit for the New York bar.
Whether you pass the NY Bar or not is a separate matter that boils down to aptitude.
Clearly the LLM from Columbia or NYU has no value to practice unless your first degree is really bad from a university rank beyond rank number 300 in the world that any reasonable American law firm will not recognize.

Please ignore this troll - most of the big White Shoe firms conduct OCI most definitely at NYU and (especially) Columbia.
You get a Summer Associate job (and a future associate's position) _before_ you get your NY Bar. The NY bar is a formality that the firm sponsors you for after they've already pre-selected you for a position there
Don't believe me? Go to LinkedIn and search for people in New York with job title "Legal Adviser (pending qualification)".
Ridiculous paper-chasing mentality with no real world experience just out to get a power trip by scaring off law students who don't know enough to call out your ********.
