What happens if USCIS sends mail to old address?

If USCIS sends the welcome notice, approval notice and green card to the old address then all those will be returned to USCIS?

Go to the postoffice near you and fill out the " Change of Adress form " they will forward your mail automatically to your new adress ! Thats what we did , and its so easy

The Post Office isn't supposed to do this for official documents, such as USCIS ones. If you no longer live at that address they are supposed to return it to USCIS.

And if they return it there is the risk of you missing an important appointment and have USCIS think that you are abandoning your case.

Did you make the change of address with USCIS (I can't remember the name of the form) and did you call to make sure it was done properly and that nothing had been sent to your old address?

Thanks for all replies, Yep, I chaned address online and USCIS sent an address confirmation letter but I didnt get any welcome letter and approval notice since it has been sent to adress on Sep 5th, I waited for maybe it will be in mailbox in one week but nothing!! I seriously started to worry about they sent welcome notice and approval notice to old address, well... I contacted people who lives in my old address they said they didnt get anything from USCIS with my name on it. so I think the letters USCIS sent they probably all returned back. I tried to call USCIS costumer service but it confused me, which number on the menu should I dial for ask someone which address they have on their systems, because it says dial... for ask questions on your case, dial... for if you didnt get your welcome notice in 30 days, dial for...if you didnt get your GC in 60 days, dial..for request for change of address. I am totally confused. Should I dial number on the menu about request to change of address?

Thanks
