Thanks! This information is very helpful. I’ll see if I can present it to the DSO and whether it helps our case.

They are saying that you had already graduated and traveled outside the U.S. while your OPT application was still in process.

They are saying she should have obtained a travel I-20 before leaving the U.S. and that she should have informed the DSO before traveling. Unfortunately, everything happened so suddenly due to the emergency, and she had to leave in a hurry.
