I finished my masters 4 years back and have been on an H-1 visa since. Plan on going back next year for my MBA. However the OPT that was granted to me post completion of masters, was for a full year.

How can I get a second OPT valid for my MBA ? Might not be able to spend 5 months continuously outside US.

Thanks in advance for any answer. Looking forward to a solution.
 
My knowledge says that OPT is granted for one year in a lifetime. You can take it multiple number of time but the total duration should not exceed one year.

Not sure about it. Check with an expert
 
More OPT

To the best of my knowlege recent changes in Immigration Law allows you to get another OPT if you have obtained an advanced degree e.g. moved from Bachelor's to Masters (you can get one OPT while holding the Bachelor's degree, another upon obtaining the Masters) and another if you go from Masters to PhD.

If you aquire a second Bachelor's or Masters - no new OPT.
