do everyone needs to make a living will?

“By the time I graduate in June, I will be living in the U.S. for five years.”
This is a sentence from an English exam I took recently. Is this sentence grammatically correct? This sentence uses the future progressive form but I learned that you have to use the future perfect form or the future perfect progressive form in a case like this, just like
“By the time I graduate in June, I will have lived in the U.S. for five years.”
or
“By the time I graduate in June, I will have been living in the U.S. for five years.”
I wonder if the sentence in the exam is really grammatically correct. If it is, is there any difference between the three sentences I referred to above.
I am an Asian student studying English. I need help from native speakers of English. I’d appreciate it if you could tell me which country you are from when you answer because the answers might be different from country to country.
Thank you.

Spanish level after one year in Argentina?
Hello,
I was hoping i could get some good answers.
I have a job starting in Buenos Aires soon, lasting one year. I have studied spanish on and off for four years (2 years in school, 2 years evening classes). I consider myself decent level yet when i do online assessment tests i generally come out at intermediate(lower) level. Pretty dissapointing but there we go.
My job will be only partly talking in spanish, in the office, needing enough to get by. Mostly i will be talking in english to british clients.
However, i will be likely to have an argentinian girlfriend i have met out there before.
After one year of living in buenos aires, with an ok standard to begin with, what sort of level do you imagine i will have by the end? in general i am fairly good with languages. Any advice welcome….!
