a. i was in USA on an F1-OPT and my status changed to H1-B somtime around Aug 2021. Since then i was on H1-B
b. I left USA in Dec 2023 on a family emergency. The goal was to come back in 2,3 months but i had to extend my stay (i was working remotely the whole time) for a month or two more. In the meanwhile, my visa stamp expired around March-April 2024. I applied for visa stamp renewal and then my visa application went into administrative processing as they required a few more documents from my company which i sent but i didn't hear back from them before i was let go in Nov 2024.
c. No assets in USA. No Family.
d. I got a w2 from my company that's why i thought maybe i have to file for tax return. Also because while i was working remotely with the company, i was getting my salary in the same CA bank account where i got my salary earlier.
e. I'm from Pakistan. Yes, i'm still here.
