Hi frens,

I was graduated (Associate Degree) last May of 2011 in the field of IT and got OPT which is going to expire in early month of 2012.  Right now I am also employee of related field. I have read about the OPT extension of 17months on the website of uscis. Is this extension qualify for Associate degree or not. Your thought or any one who approved the extension of OPT could share their views will be appreciated..

Thanks  in advance.

 Associate degree pachi nai Bro lai padhna jhyau lagyo ki kya ho ? Associate degree is nothing these days....khurukka back to college gayera Bachelors sakaune ani Masters. 
Yes you can do OPT extension after associate but you can only extend it one time.

The best thing is to go back to college and finish your higher level of studies and get a nice high paying job and at that point it's good idea to extend your OPT not right now.

My 2 cents.

Purana Kagaz bro.. Is Masters Degree mandatory.. I am almost done with my Bachelors Field (Computer Field) and thinking whether i should finish my masters and get to the job world or finished with masters. I know for GC Master's help alot but some information and enlightment would be helpful.

Thanks much.
