OPT Extension After Second Master's

[jobveta]

Hello Immigration Legends,

 

I have a very typical question for you.

 

I finished my first master's degree in Computer Science from XXX University and got my OPT(12 month).

 

Later, I wanted to pursue my second master's and did not apply for OPT Extension.

 

I am about to finish my Second Master's Degree in a different major in YYY University.

 

Am I eligible to apply for an OPT Extension(17-month)? 

 

What are the chances of being approved for the 17-month OPT Extension?

 

All replies and suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

No matter how many master degrees you have, you will get only 'ONE' OPT.

I believe you are not eligible as you should have applied for an extension after your initial OPT period but you decided to join for another Master's.
