F1-currently applying for OPT but my visa ends June 2021. Help please!

Hello, I am an F-1 student who is graduating this year and currently applying for OPT. My visa ends in June 2021 (this year) and I was wondering how to go about this. Do I need to wait until I get my OPT and EAD to renew my visa? And am I able to do that in the US? Do I fill out the form I-539 or do I have to go do an interview? Any help is appreciated. Please dumb it down for me.

In summary: 1) not sure if I need to apply to renew/extend visa now or after EAD comes in 2) not sure how to go about renewing visa: through filing form I-539 online or by going to somewhere to interview (if so where can I go to interview-anywhere in the US? or do I have to go back to my home country to go to the US embassy?)

Thank you!

My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...

DS-260 Have you ever attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?

Ok so I’m not sure what to put down here, I have a high school diploma and currently attending college! So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college? Because it says highest level of education COMPLETED but also in the drop down menu there is an option that says UNIVERSITY,NO DEGREE which if I do choose then I will have to fill out the school information and then a start date and an end date which I still do not know this is the only question I’m struggling will and have looked into it but no straightforward answer! I hope you guys can help submitted by /u/AlarmingUmpire3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/j2eni9/ds260_have_you_ever_attended_any_educational/
