Is there any chance by the way that the consular will not know that I was out of status and grant me Visa?

Thank you for your nice response. I just wanted to confirm this. So even if I didn't accrue any unlawful presence you are saying I won't get a visa? If I wanted to stay in the U.S. I could stay, right? I left when I have realized that it is against the law. Do you think this argument will make the visa officer grant me a visa? Or any other tips would be extremely helpful.

This is the paragraph, could you please read it and let me know - - On the other hand, foreign students who receive F-1 nonimmigrant visas and a few other nonimmigrant categories (such as J and I visas) are admitted to the U.S. for an indefinite time, a concept known as “duration of status.” The significance of duration of status admission is that the alien’s behavior, in this case, a student pursuing a course of study, controls how long the alien may remain in the U.S. This undefined period of authorization in the U.S. and lack of periodic follow-up vetting is problematic for several reasons. For example, foreign students engaging in espionage or who otherwise pose a national security threat could do so undetected for many years, causing great harm to the U.S. Foreign students who become radicalized after admission to the U.S. or lied on their visa applications could avoid immigration consequences entirely. Similarly, students who drop out of school may remain in the U.S. for years before their visa violation is discovered. And unlike aliens admitted with a “date certain” visa, foreign students do not start accruing unlawful presence toward the three- and 10-year bars until after the government catches them violating their status.

I don't have any question about being out of status. My question is if I have accrued any unlawful presence. The article said foreign students do not accrue unlawful presence even if they remain in the U.S.A after dropping out. I just wanted to know if that is true or not.

I have dropped out the School. The school emailed me saying your SEVIS is terminated and after that I have stayed in the U.S. for about 10 months. My question is that did I legally accrued any unlawful presence. Here this article says, I didn't. Could you please go through the article and let me know the truth. Thank you so much for your help.

Hello everyone, I was out of status in the U.S from February, 2022 to January 2023 as a F-1 student. At this point I am trying to go to the U.S and complete my degree. However I am concerned if I have been accrued any unlawful presence and am inadmissible for 3 years to enter. I have D/S written in my passport and in the I-94 form. I have hard it somewhere if your I-94 form mentions D/S then you don't accrue any unlawful presence even if you are out of status. My question is is this true?
