I didn't know USCIS was waiving biometrics until receiving a letter from them today. This is what it says:

 

"USCIS has received your form and is currently processing your application, petition, or request. This notice informs you that USCIS is able to reuse your previously captured fingerprints and other biometrics. USCIS will run the same security checks and use your biometric data as in the past, however, it is not necessary for you to appear at a USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) for a biometrics appointment. The biometrics fee will not be refunded.

 

USCIS is continuing to process your application, petition, or request. USCIS will contact you in writing if any additional information is necessary to resolve your case."

 

It will be interesting to see if there is more action on my file before I am eligible to apply for citizenship in July 2019.

I can't edit my post above, but the letter was just a waiver of fingerprints letter and letting me know the biometrics fee is not being refunded.

On my daily digest from USPS says that I should be receiving something from USCIS tomorrow. Hopefully it's a waiver for biometrics

I keep in touch with the people living in my previous address, in case anything goes there instead. Maybe you could try and check in there every other month? 

I called customer service but couldn't get in touch with them but on my daily digest from USPS, shows that I should be receiving something from them tomorrow on my current address! Hopefully a waiver. Fingers crossed!

You have to change the address within 10 days. If your relatives are staying there you can be assured no mail goes missing, since they can check if USCIS messes up

So it seems they have the change of address right then. That’s great news
