Hello sathiharu,

Tapaiharulai dherai dherai dhanyabad for all those enlightening information. It really means a lot for me. STUPIDA ji, I googled a little bit about what you said about the chances of getting OPT two times if the two Master degrees are totally different, unfortunately what I found is the answer NO. But as you said I would rather talk to my international advisor about this issue. My previous degree was M.S in engineering and now I'm pursuing MBA. Looks like they are totally different, but in most of the results I found in google is that the USCIS rule for OPT offer only one time OPT for one level regardless of the field of study.

In many cases they also mentioned "using OPT completely". I am little bit confused about this. I returned back to Nepal 4 months after I got OPT, reapplied for F-1 visa again after 8 months of stay in Nepal. So will USICS consider my OPT was fully consumed or not? Please let me know if anyone got any idea about this.

Thanks.
