Second OPT

CanI

Registered Users (C)
Hello,
I used OPT once, for a period of 7 months. The OPT was issued for a masters degree. I plan on doing a bachelors in a different field. Will I be eligible for a new OPT or will I be required to use the left-over five months from the previous OPT ?

Also I have spent more than five consecutive months outside the US since my first OPT. Will that help in any way ?

Thank you.
 
You are eligible for a fresh 12 month OPT. Check with the international students advisor for confirmation.
