OPT after 2nd Undergrad?

Hello everyone,

So this is my situation. I'm supposed to finish my bachelors this May. So basically I have two options to stay in U.S.: apply for OPT or start another program. Am I correct? Can I start working on another undergraduate degree at the same school? What visa paperwork would I need in this case?
If it's possible, would I be eligible to apply for OPT after I'm done with the second undergraduate degree?

Thanks,
Mark
 
You only have 12 months of OPT per degree level. So if you haven't had any OPT for bachelor's degree before, then you can have 12 months of OPT after this one.

Thank you. So is it possible for me to apply for another undergraduate program? The career services at my school were not sure if it's allowed. (My school is really small so they don't have a lot of experience dealing with international students)
