Just an update for anyone going through removal of conditions, related to changing addresses after filing the I-751 but before receiving the I-797 (NOA1).  My husband filed his I-751 package (528 pages total) on May 21, exactly 90 days before his conditional 2-year green card expires, and then we moved on June 1 and filed an online change of address with USCIS, hoping that the I-797 would be sent to our new address.  I had heard that the US postal service does not forward I-797 notices from USCIS so we were worried that the move may cause delays in receiving the I-797.  To our surprise, the I-797 arrived yesterday, two weeks after filing the I-751, extending his status for 18 months from the expiration on his green card, and the US postal service forwarded it to our new address!  So to help others going through similar circumstances, the USPS will forward mail like this.  Maybe not green cards, but in our case, they forwarded the I-751.  Better yet, he did not have to wait 30 or 60 days for the I-797, but only two weeks!  Good luck to everyone who is going through removal of conditions!

USPS always forward i-797, but not official goverment document ( EAD, GC )

Yes, good to know for the benefit of others who may have or will soon change their mailing address mid-process.  I have seen many posts here on VJ that said USPS never forwards anything sent from USCIS.  So obviously that is not the case for I-797s.
