Hey guys! I am graduating with Associates Degree in Pre-Engineering in this May 2010. I am thinking about applying for OPT now. What are the steps that I need to take in order to apply for OPT? My I-20 is expiring in August 2010. Will I have any problem if I apply OPT now?? If I got an OPT in my associates degree, will it effect in future while getting OPT in my Bachelors Degree? How long is the OPT period? Can I take OPT for only one semester and join university after that?Lastly If I got OPT, do I have to work related to my field or "store ma ghanta hanera tax tire huncha"?
Guys I'm real confused right now. I'm very sorry that I got too many questions. What I'm planning is  get my OPT, work until November 2010, then get a new I-20 form a University, then go to Nepal and spend about one month and come back and continue my study. Is my plan sounds possible? Please I'm really looking forward for a helpful comments. Also can any one provide me with the credible source where I can find such information regarding OPT. Your response will be highly appreciated. 
Thank you.
