its clear what he means. He states he's on an ED visa which he hasn't extended if you bother to read his post

If it’s before ED expiration, you can ask school for visa cancellation docs and then ho to Immigration with that document for cancellation.

Generally if it’s expired, you don’t need to do anything.

Can I apply for my DTV visa right after returning to my home country in late July, or do I need to wait until my ED visa expires?
