2nd OPT on F1

[vghiya]

Hi,
I used my first OPT after my Masters. I am thinking about applying for an MBA. Would I get a 2nd OPT after I complete MBA education??? I know there is a rule that one can avail an OPT after every degree, but I am not sure if one could get an OPT after completing degrees of same level.

you will not get an OPT for your second master's degree. You will get one if you complete a PhD level.

It has to be a degree of the higher level of education than what the previous OPT was based on. So, for two BA or two Masters you get it only once. But if you go BA, Masters (or MBA) and PhD you have the right for one OPT after completion of each level.
