As Crazy cat suggested .. ask NVC to link the cases. No guarantees. If that isn’t successful when you get the interview date, contact the consulate and ask for them to schedule the interviews together
Current income is what is needed in order to meet the income requirement. Have good documentation such as payslips and employment letter. Transitioning from low income during studying to income with a job is common
Having paid the fee already, the CBP officer will ask you to confirm your mailing address for the green card. No forms needed for this. It’s a pity the Consulate info is out of date .. it makes it more confusing and stressful than it needs to be.

It can only be done with evidence and documents in hand .. it is then up to the Consulate to accept or reject . Do not file the I 130 direct to USCIS ahead of any DCF application. If the I 130 is already filed then no DCF is possible. You would have a steering case for DCF
You do not surrender your GC
until your oath ceremony.
Travel as usual using the letter and expired GC You will be asked about any international travel since the interview at the sign in desk when you attend for your oath taking ceremony so just keep track of dates Usual care you not be out for too long.
5 yr does not require documentation regarding ongoing marriage so it is a little simpler. You must still meet the Continuous residence, physical presence and state residency requirements
