Hi everyone,
I really need some suggestions, mostly about TPS. I have been reading threads about TPS but some of them have left me confused. Please let me know if you have any information regarding these matters because I need to take decisions ASAP. And these are critical:

My condition: I am on OPT and my OPT will expire in Jan, 2016. I am planning to apply for TPS and a graduate program. When I asked my adviser about my responsibilities in order to maintain my F1 status during TPS period, I was just told that I need to maintain the way I am doing right now and meet a lawyer if I have further questions BUT:

1) If I apply for TPS with EAD, will I have to inform my university cause I will be no longer under OPT though I am planning to join university in Jan?
2) I also want to talk to USCIS officer, how do I do that (I live in the Bay are, CA) ?
3) To come back to my F1 status, do I have to reapply or it happens automatically after TPS?
4) I have heard that some states are providing in-state tuition fee for TPS approved students. Since I didn't get more information from my adviser and I am suggested to go meet a lawyer, I have to ask there, is there any other way I can find out about in-state tuition fees?
5) Here is another tricky situation: let's say I will get my degree in 2 years after joining in 2016 but if TPS gets extended then I have to apply for the TPS extension rather than applying for OPT, so in that case, how can I maintain my status? Do I have to join school again?

Documents:
1) In terms of gathering documents for TPS, should I ask my university a letter but I am on OPT and I will be sending a copy of my EAD. What other things do you suggest?

MRP documents:
#original passport, citizenship
#3 photos
#$150
# 2 copies of application
I see other documents like birth certificate and some other which I don't have.

Please suggest me and please don't suggest if you are too confused cause I already am. I will really appreciate all of your time and help.

Thanks in Advance
