Administrations of university I go are terrible. They repeatedly make stupid mistakes like lose my important documents (or they say "We've never received it." or "We can't find it.") and ask me to submit again. I'm an international student, but my school even lost my important immigration related document before. This time, the school's health service department is saying they don't see my x-ray picture that I already submit several months ago. I'm so sick and tired of their treatment and rudeness. I would like to file complaints where sincerely investigate the troubles in public university, but I have no idea where would take these kind of problems seriously and be a students' supporter, not school's. Any local, or even federal, government departments or commissions I can talk to?

You should have learned by now to make copies of everything you submit.
Talk to the ombudsman.

First, contact the administration. Send a letter to the appropriate vice-president or vice-chancellor in charge of whatever department you have a complaint about. Keep a copy for yourself, and send a carbon copy to the University's president.
Wait 10 business days. If you do not hear any response at all from the person, or if the response is not satisfactory, write a letter to the student body newspaper. If you still do not hear anything within one week of your letter being published (or if your letter is not published) write a complaint to whatever STATE (not federal) senator represents your college's district, OR to a member/all members of the state's Senate education committee (this information is available on the state's official website).
Send copies of all letters to the senator(s), and make sure you include copies of the university's responses.

Hire a lawyer and file a discrimination charge if this is only happening to you. Your English sounds like you probably belong to a protected minority. If however, this is happening to everyone, then the board of regents should know and the state authority which deals with licencing colleges and universities. It's going to take time and money, long after you will graduate. Maybe you should consider a transfer to a different university that doesn't have a record of these problems.

honestly? youre out of luck. you could start with your schools international students office. but that doesn't do much good.
don't eeeeeeeeven think about asking the gov. they'll just look into as if YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. best thing you can do is pester them that you sent the items-simply put...***** ***** ***** and ***** a bit more. eventually they'll give in.
after 911 homeland security really screwed all the international students. as long as you have all the papers and the likes (obviously always make copies) bitching to them will get you what you want.

I doubt you could do a lot. i do not understand what us of a you're in, yet in maximum places public colleges are just about portion of authorities, and it really is continually complicated to "wrestle city hall" many times, in case you at the prompt are not pleased with a amenities or products (mutually with a college) your maximum proper guess is to pass elsewhere. If the only you're at is the most proper you could do, then its the most proper you could do. strong success

If you want to be nasty, contact one of the local newspapers. Where is the university?

Writing poorly is a good start.
