  • Can we apply for OPT twice on two different degrees?

    Hello,

    I have completed my master's (MS) in Management Information Systems in 2003 and subsequently used my OPT time.

    Now, I am planning to go back to school to pursue my MBA starting Fall-2010.
    Assuming that I will graduate in 2 years, will I be eligible for a new OPT term of 12 months after I graduate with an MBA degree? My assumption is that since the functional degree (MIS and MBA) are different, I will get a new OPT based on my new degree.

    Any thoughts...?? References? Ideas?
    Please share. Look forward to your responses.

    Rgds,
    Krishna

    The answer is No. The only way you can get another OPT is if you go higher in your degrees. E.g. MS-->PhD.
