OPT after Experiation of current OPT(17 month)

[samv18]

I m on OPT (got Extension for 17months) which is goin to expire in JUNE 2010. If I plan to do Masters again in an University as a Full time student then Will I get again an OPT?

[kabkaba]

Yes, after completing 9 months in that school or after finishing the degree.

[samv18]

Can I get the same OPT for 29 months (17 extension) after doing second time Masters(Computer Science)?

[kabkaba]

Yes, assuming you fulfill all requirements. Also, once you enroll in another program, you cannot use your current OPT.

Thanks Kabkaba,

That means, as my opt is expiring in June 2010 and if I enroll into a masters degree with Computer Science major before JAn 2010. My OPT for 4 months will be wasted. Please correct me If iam wrong...

and How about if I get a Masters in Business administration, will I get OPT and can that OPT be extended for 17 months...


Thanks in advance
