Forgot to send 6 month validation report during stem extension

[Tecame]

Forgot to send 6 month validation report during 17 month(stem) extension. Just found this below rule that my school told me. Can anyone please tell me if there is anyway to fix this. There are no exceptions but if engaged in sports they can smooth out, click here with an essay about basketball with a similar case.


students must send a validation report to their DSO every six months starting from the date the STEM extension OPT starts and ending when the student’s F-1 status ends or the STEM extension OPT ends, whichever is first. The validation report must include the student’s:
• Full legal name
• SEVIS identification number (if requested by the school)
• Current mailing and residential address
• Name and address of the current employer
• Employment start date for the current employer

The best thing to do in this situation is to contact the DSO and explain the situation and find a solution. There will be problems if you just do nothing.
