Document returned to USCIS- causing delay?

[Lillyandkip 26]

My fiancé and me got our NOA 1 via e-mail on March 25th 2016. We didn't get the hard copy and on April 15th our case status updated to:

On April 15, 2016, the Post Office returned your document to us. We will hold your document for 180 days or until October 12, 2016. Please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request that we resend the document to you. If you do not submit an online request by October 12, 2016, we will destroy your document and you will need to file a new Form I-129F, Petition for Fiance(E), with fee. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

I checked my fiances address again and apparently we wrote down a wrong apartment number so I changed the address online and I also submitted the online request the same day. We got our NOA 1 hardcopy a couple days later with the note that the change of address was succesful and it said receiving date March 21 and Notice date March 25. Our online case history says that our inquiry about the notice we didn't received was completed on April 29. A week later my fiancé got another letter from USCIS with a second NOA1 hardcopy which had the same receiving date as the first one but the notice date is May 2nd. Our case status is still the same and in case history "next steps" it says: We will return your document if we are able. Please update or verify your current address information. If we destroyed an undeliverable document, please follow our instructions.

We are confused now. Is the status supposed to update or does it just stay like that until we are approved or get a RFE? And does anyone know if this is pushing our case back? What is the NOA1 date now if we got 2 hardcopies with different dates?

Thanks so much in advance!

Did either of your online statuses stay on "Document was Returned to USCIS" long after you changed your address and received your hard copy NOA1? 

 

Im dealing with this now and worrying.

12/5/2016: Submitted I-129F

12/9/2016: Email it's been received

12/22/2016: Online status updates to "Document was Returned to USCIS" (assuming the NOA1 got lost)

1/21/2016: Finally manage to submit a change of address with USCIS

1/23/2016: NOA1 hardcopy

 

We haven't gotten any news since and the online status still reads, "Document was Returned to USCIS."

Just an update for anyone else furiously scanning these forums in a panic:

After we fixed our address and got our NOA1, we had to wait about 3 more months until our NOA2 (4/14/17.) This was an absurdly long time, but that could have been due to the HUGE surge in applications at the time we applied, the address correction, or the fact that our application weighed enough to send a child into orbit if dropped on the other side of a seesaw.

And No! Our online status did not change from "Document was Returned to USCIS" until after our NOA2, where it changed to "Case was Approved." I read somewhere it was the norm for it to not change until after the NOA2 and that was our situation, as well.
