orginal posting
situation is like this.
1st Master Degree
Done 1 yr OPT
Done 2 yr H-1B
2nd Master Degree
(NOT been outside US for more than 5 months between two degrees, otherwise would have been eligible for 2nd OPT. NO Tension).
So, has anybody got 2nd OPT in this kind of situation?

well...one must admit there have been a lot of interesting posting and new information. But still, I don't think my question has been answered. Mostly we are deviating.
There is one thing I need to add:
I am back to F-1 status now.
The reason I need 2nd OPT is, I am graduating in December. If I am to remain in US, then I must find job and have my H-1 applied/approved before December, which is very difficult. If I get 2nd OPT, I will have ample time for job hunting and also I am getting some offers if I have OPT.
I checked with my international student advisor, they don't know if I am eligible for 2nd OPT in this situtation, but she is still working on that. And as Harkay said, please mention your source of information, because I have to show that to my international student advisor.
