Got it. Thanks guys... I think I have the whole process down now. I asked once before about this and coming back within my 90 day window but this is the first time actually being out of country and missing the 90 day window all together.
I’m sure to get criticized for this post. But you did follow the rules and had nothing to worry about. You just were not scrutinized with due diligence on the subject, and had a lenient IO.. I would hate the wrong message to go out for others to try this without insurance and be unsuccessful because of these stories
