Pay USPS to forward all your mail to new address. For $2 you'll get everything routed to your new address. Even talk to your local delivery person, Usually 2-3 people at USPS are assigned to a territory so you can just let them know that you're moving

OH wow. I totally forgot about this even though I set this up about 2.5 years ago when we moved from our first apartment in another state. 

 

Given that you get an online version of each letter USCIS sends out, my main concern is just to not get called for finger prints in the old state as it'll suck to pay for an expensive last minute flight. 

 

I plan on sending my address change form as soon as we get the keys to our next apartment in TX.

If you have signed the lease, you can submit the change of address form now both at USCIS and USPS. That way, by the time you get in your new apartment, you will already have a proof that the USPS system is working and forwarding your mails on time to your new apartment

USCIS finally uploaded my biometrics appointment notice. They are reusing my I-751 biometrics. They are not refunding biometrics fee. ETA for case completion is still October 2020.

Congratulations, Atleast it eliminates the need to go for biometrics and potentially remove 2 months lag on case.

On Friday I got notification that biometrics was scheduled. Yesterday I went to check the documents tab, thinking they would tell me when my appointment is, and I actually found the letter stating re-use of biometrics. And I also happened to notice the status changed to Interview is scheduled, but the email about Status change only came in today.

When did you get the Biometrics taken and Did your i751 get approved or is it still pending?

I think your update is giving a lot of us hope. My husband's i-400 estimated processing time changed from January 2021 (5 months) to December 2021 (16 months) a few weeks ago. Here's to hoping it will change back (or at least not be so delayed), as you experienced....
