Urgent OPT question

[easthill]

hi guys,

please help me!

I applied 6 months OPT for my first Master's degree two years ago. And I am applying for the rest 6 months OPT for my second Master's degree now. Will my application be approved? I am so worried about that now since the international student advisor at my school has not handled such kind of case before. Please let me know if you have been through that before. I will appreciate your kind help greatly.


Thanks

I filed three times for OPT before and had no problem. First I filed after a BA degree for the full 12 months. Later I filed once for part time 6 months, that only counted for 3 months and later on I filed for the rest of what was left. I did get help from the Foreign student office to file but it was not complicated and I think such cases are fairly common.

Thank you for the kind reply.

one more question:

were the part time 6 months OPT and the rest OPT for the same degree?

my case is a little bit different, I am splitting 12 months OPT for two different Master's degrees.

Again, I really appreciate your time and help.
