Forwarded mail: returned to USCIS?

[deptrai 0]

I am out of the country for 6 weeks (visiting my fiancee and such), so I have temporarily forwarded my postal mail to my parents house since the post office will only hold it for 30 days... and of course, they sent my NOA1 to me just after I left. Well, most gov't envelopes have "Do Not Forward" printed on them, and the post office seems to return mail to sender when it's marked like that (usually, although sometimes they let it through)... so, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me...

1. If you've received NOA1 or similar, did the envelope have "do not forward" marked on it?

2. Does the NOA1 have any instructions for some action that I must take quickly, or just a notice?

3. Does anyone know, if USCIS receives a returned letter like this, would it cause them to stop or hold up processing on a case, even though it otherwise has no problems (i.e. it's not a RFE).

Thanks in advance for any help or advice...

Just checked both my NOA1 and NOA2 envelopes, no "Do not forward" directions on the front or back. Payato

We had this happen to us... fiancé was transferred to another state immediately following our application submission. Of course, the NOA1 was sent prior to the time we informed USCIS of the change of address and the post office would not forward to the transition address. However, it did not make any difference one way or the other. They continued to process the case without any delays because all it is is a notification letter.

USCIS NOA1s are forwardable. There's nothing on the envelope that states otherwise. It is not marked "Do not forward".

Thanks for the reassurance, friends, I feel a better now.

It may be different for every country. I know ours was stamped "Do Not Forward".
