OPT question for international JDs with a previous master's degree Forum

OPT is available per degree level, so the question is whether USCIS treats JD as at a higher level than a master. Is there anyone here who successfully obtained another OPT after using up the 12-month OPT at the master level? Anyone who got denied? Thank you!

Yes, you can do another OPT with a JD, even if you already did an OPT with a Master’s. A JD is treated as a PhD for OPT purposes.

I suggest reaching out to your JD international office. The will likely review your previous i20 and the language describing your masters.
