Like all countries in the world, the United States has laws and regulations governing foreigners who are temporarily within its borders. The Immigration regulations are administered by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). These regulations can change frequently and are difficult to interpret.  It is important for you to understand the immigration rules as they apply to your student status.  The INS does not consider ignorance of the law a legitimate reason for failing to obey it.  Questions should be directed to the Student Development Office (SDO).  There are Designated School Officials (DSO's) available there who know the laws and can sign your documents.  INS requires that a copy of your passport, I-94 and other immigration documents be kept on file in the SDO, as well as your local address and telephone number. The local INS office address is as follows:
