Process for Renewing US Visitor B2 Visa

Hello all,

TLDR: Do you need to wait until your US Visitor B2 Visa expires before you can request a renewal?

Long form:

Emma is currently outside the United States and has a Visitor B2 Visa that expires at the end of January 2022. Emma has admission to enter the United States in December 2021 and plans on entering the United States in early December 2021. Emma would like to apply for a Visitor B2 Visa at the end of October 2021 (soon, three months before the B2 Visa expiry date), to be able to stay past January 2022 in the United States. Her plan/expectation is that she will enter the United States with her current Visitor B2 Visa, leave for an interview at her local embassy for a renewal, and return to the United States afterwards.

Will Emma be able to renew her Visitor B2 Visa prior to the expiry date of January 2022?
US Embassy processing times aside, is there any rules prohibiting the renewal of a US Visa prior to the expiry date?

Will she be granted an interview prior to the expiry date of her US Visitor Visa?

What are the variables that will allow Emma to obtain a renewed US Visitor Visa without an interview at her local US Embassy?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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!
