I am out of the country from September 2021, but I have a valid Job and a residential address in the USA and submitting my stem opt reporting on time to my DSO and I could see the same in my SEVIS portal. I planned to come to the USA in December 2021 but I couldn't come back for some personal reasons but continued to work.
I just came across the 5-month rule. Now I am worried if this going to be a big mark on my profile. Could you provide some guidance on what are the consequences as I am willing to come to the USA on a different visa in future. Please let me know what I should tell my DSO and how to handle this situation.
