Thapap, I was looking for this information before I give an update. Obviously what Spearhead's advisor is right. You can't have second time OPT by graduating two degrees at the same level. However, one OPT after each degree (B.S./ M.S. / Ph.D.) is allowed within the US. Once my one of my friend brought this point that you can get another OPT if you have the following condition: 1. Graduated with a M.S. in 2001 2. Went back to Nepal after a one year OPT in 2002. 3. Applied for another M.S. in 2004. 4. Graduated second M.S. in 2006 5. Now can enjoy 2nd OPT after graduation. The following source also mentions this point. However, I don't know how verifiable it is. http://www.istudentcity.com/immigration/imm_permission_optional.asp The exception rule is given as: Post-completion optional practical training is a one-time option. If you take one year of practical training after completing your degree, you cannot obtain another period of practical training upon completing another degree. There are two exceptions: First, if you spend at least one year outside the U.S., and then return with F-1 status. Second, if you change from F-1 to another status, spend at least a year in the other status, and then change back to F-1 status.
