  • OPT Application eligibility for my specific visa case history

    Hi everyone,

    I was wondering if I am eligible for an OPT application based on my specific visa case history (see below).
    Please let me know if anyone has had any experience dealing with such a case or has come across anyone that has applied for an OPT before and has gotten it.
    Any help / knowledge will be much appreciated.

    Below is a summary of my visa history in the U.S. so far for your reference.

    I was on F1 (Student) visa form Sep 2006 to Dec 2007 (Masters degree) and then on OPT (12 months) thereafter set to expire Dec. 2008.
    I then went on H1B from October 1 2008 (approved in the lottery in April 2008).
    I got laid off in May 2009 after which I went back to my home country for 2 months and came back on a new student visa (F1) from Sep 2009 to present day (2nd Masters degree).
    The end date on my current I-20 is December 11th 2011 which is also my graduation.
    Both my Masters degrees are with the School of Engineering.
    Degree 1 Major : Integrated Microsystems
    Degree 2 Major : Engineering Management

    Thanks,
    A

    Another OPT can only be obtained for a higher degree level. So only if you do a PhD, you can get another OPT.
    This is my opinion and not legal advice.
