you can extend the visa duration,But valid visa is not neccesary for OPT......

That's right. Even I got my F-1 for 2 years. No problem with OPT

Opt is a status you really don't need any visa

thanks for clarifying

No, an F-1 visa does not determine length of stay! Your I-20/SEVIS record are what matter.

as long as u have valid i20/OPT , u r fine.. u need valid Visa if & only if u want 2 travel (out of country). That time get ur visa extended & stamped again..
