Withdraw OPT Request Once an OPT request status changes to Pending, the student must write USCIS to withdraw the OPT application. The request must: Be sent to the USCIS Service Center processing the application. The address is on the USCIS-issued Receipt Notice sent to the student.
International students may only apply for OPT once for each degree they obtain. They cannot apply for the same education level multiple times. For instance, if they have already used their masters OPT, then their future degree at the same level will not qualify for OPT application.
Most students are eligible to apply for a total of 12 months of OPT at each higher degree level. OPT can only be used once per higher degree level even if you have multiple degrees per level (e.g. OPT based on a Bachelors degree and then OPT based on a Masters degree or PhD).
A student who is authorized for 12 months of OPT during/after a Bachelors degree program, who moves on to do a Masters degree, will be eligible to pursue 12 new months of OPT during/after completion of the Masters degree; and this would continue to progressively higher degree levels.
For example, you cannot do one period of 24-month OPT and then immediately apply for the second period of 24-month OPT. You must go back to school and receive a new degree at a higher level, and do another period of 12-month OPT before you are eligible to again apply for a STEM extension.

No. The start date is decided before your new I-20 is issued and can only be changed up until you mail the application to USCIS. Can I change my mailing address while my OPT application is pending? You can, but it can (and often does) result in a delay of receipt of your EAD card.
