If you have a question or a concern about your F-1 status, see an international student advisor at Foothill to obtain information about INS regulations and procedure. Do not go directly to BCIS.
Make photocopies of all documents before you submit them to BCIS. It is also recommended that if you mail materials to BCIS, you send them "certified mail, return receipt requested" to be certain that BCIS receives them.
