STEM OPT and Unemployment

Technically, for initial OPT + STEM OPT, a person can be unemployed for a total duration of 150 days.

How are these 'unemployed' days counted or tracked!?

Let's say the issue date on my EAD (initial) is 25th July. And lets say I report my employer details and title to the International Student Services at my academic institution on 31st July, while I actually started my job 15 July onwards.

  1. In the above scenario am I considered unemployed for 6 days or 6 + 15 = 21 days? The latter obviously makes more sense, but just want to pick some brains here who might have a deeper knowledge.
  2. If I am a contractor, and I take a voluntary/involuntary furlough for 30 days but join back after these 30 days. Do these 30 days get counted in the unemployed days?

Any pointers appreciated. Much thanks!

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
