Might have gotten myself into trouble when I forgot to update SEVP Portal when I left my job in July

Long story short, I am currently on STEM-OPT, which will expire in Sept 2021. Back in July, I decided to quit my previous job and use my unemployment days on my STEM-OPT to travel around the US. At the time, I was seriously considering leaving the US so I did not bother to meet with my DSO and ask about any procedure that needed to be taken.

Fast forward to a few months later, I decided to try to find a job in the US and continue staying in the US until at least my STEM-OPT runs out. I was also hoping to start my application for self-petition green card (EB2-NIW). I am in the interview process with a few companies and already have an official offer that I'm considering.

What is the best to find out if the lack of update on my SEVP portal affected my STEM-OPT status? I have scheduled a meeting with my DSO on Friday, but would like to have more information before that, since I'm talking to companies about hiring me right now.

Thanks in advance!

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...

Navigating the U.S. Family-Based Immigration Visa Process

For families hoping to immigrate to the United States, the visa process can be overwhelming. With so much uncertainty and complexity involved, it's important to have a clear understanding of the steps and requirements. The first step is determining which family-based immigration visa applies to you. There are two types: immediate relatives and family preference. The former includes spouses, parents, and unmarried children under the age of 21 who are U.S. citizens. Family preference visas are for more distant relatives such as siblings, married children of U.S. citizens, and spouses and unmarried children of permanent residents. Once you know which visa you're eligible for, you'll need to file a petition with USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). This step requires providing documentation such as birth certificates and marriage licenses, as well as proof of your relationship to the U.S. citizen or permanent resident sponsoring you. After your petitio...
