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
