Seems like immunity for chickenpox showed up in the blood report, so all is good! Thanks y'all! 

I signed up for USPS forwarding but I have heard it takes effect in a week or two. If a notice has already been mailed before I applied for forwarding, I don't think they would deliver to the new address? I made management of my older apartment complex aware of the situation and to please request the new residents to contact me and not to toss away any mail in our names.

Congratulations! So happy for you. 
Knew it would happen and you would not need to file anything again. Those phone calls and appointment paid off! 
 
And unfortunately yes, it is likely that mail from USCIS will arrive to your old address. Is it possible for you to contact the current tenant or at least the landlord?  

@Allaboutwaiting
Case reopened on February 4! Didn't get any phone call, email or notices (yet), but I logged into my USCIS account and there it was. So relieved!
 
..but also I'm pretty sure the notice will deliver to the old address so I gotta obtain that somehow. 

I forgot to share that with you earlier. 
So you can wait for them a little longer to respond to your request to reschedule before filing a motion or refiling for AOS again. 

Latest update: the officer we were assigned to heard our case, saw our evidence and initially said the same stuff we've been hearing - "you missed your appointment and unfortunately we can't reopen a case that has been closed. You can file a motion since that is the procedure." After explaining to him that we followed the exact protocol/procedure to reschedule an interview and that we see online that it was rescheduled, he still was hesitant until we started to really press him that it was not our error that led to us. 
 
Then somehow, he says "I had rescheduled your interview which was for January. You did not show up for that." lol
 
We say we never received a notice for that, none of the Tier-1 agents could confirm another appointment and the current denial notice says that we failed to show up for the INITIAL interview and for not doing any" correspondence" which we obviously did. 
 
He starts understanding, says he will be back after speaking to management. Comes back after 7-10 minutes, says he talked to his supervisor. His supervisor talked to his supervisor. None of them have authority to reopen a closed case. He said they will bring it upto "management" and they will let us know. Apparently manager or director were not there today. 
 
He said there is no guarantee but if it does reopen, to wait a week or two.
 
Bummer. 

Latest update may sound confusing but here goes. 
 
Yesterday we were told that someone from our local field office was assigned to contact us by 01/21. In the morning of 01/21, we got an email from USCIS that basically didn't imply much except that an inquiry was requested on 01/14 and the case type was expedited and to click on link for InfoPass. I thought it was a general email but no idea why it was randomly sent. 
 
By late afternoon, no one had contacted us so I got anxious and got on live chat. Agent asked me if I had contacted them yet for an in-person meeting and I'm confused. Turns out I was apparently supposed to contact them after seeing that email (but I was waiting for someone to call us as stated by the agent the day before!!!). They said an officer will call to schedule an InfoPass appointment within 72 hours but to our surprise, an officer actually called at the end of the day.
 
We are going for an appointment on Monday morning. Please keep us in your prayers. I really hope they are kind and friendly and understand that it was some error on their part that led to this. 

I just did live chat via Emma and the agent told me that someone is assigned to us and is expected to contact by 01/21 so hopefully it can end our suffering.
 
I actually did not know about that fact. I Googled it and it seems you're right. Interesting. 

I sure hope they call or email us by tomorrow. We have been so anxious this whole time. Based on that denial notice, my spouse is supposed to stop working by Sunday unless we prove that her I-485 is still pending. 
 
I did fill out the form for the Ombudsman to look into this. 
 
I'm glad things worked out for y'all!

Thank you for responding! When I Google emergency infopass appointment, "emergency advance parole" results show up. I can request that for this error case as well, right? (even if I have no travel coming up)

Well, the agent told us to wait at least a month so we were patiently waiting and did not call to inquire. It has now just been a month but instead of receiving the rescheduled interview letter, we received this bad news instead. We will call in their business hours tomorrow first thing in the morning!!!!!!

My wife and I had a similar issue. We moved to another state, updated the USCIS with our new address and received their confirmation of them receiving our new address change a month before the initial interview date. Once a change of address is processed and recognized by the USCIS all pending interviews and appointments are SUPPOSEDLY cancelled and rescheduled to the local USCIS office in your new city/state etc. This NEVER HAPPENED. Interview was never rescheduled and they terminated all pending processes stating we had abandoned our case. This resulted in my wife having to quit her job and drivers license expiring because she wasn't able to renew it because no active approved AOS. We had to refile EVERYTHING, pay all the fees again and wait. That was six months ago. Yesterday the USCIS site showed the renewed work permit is being generated and mailed. So once we get the AOS approval we can find her a new job and renew her DL.  
 
 

Just yesterday I read a post on the forum about someone who missed the interview but managed to reschedule and was actually interviewed by a supervisor and approved on the spot.
I'll share as soon as I find said post.

Will do! Thank you so much. 

Call USCIS and say "infopass" at the prompt.  When a human answers, tell them it is an emergency.

This may not be very helpful, but we also received an RFE for my wife's birth certificate (Pakistan). It seems like they must have lost it surely because the one we submitted is the only official one from issuing authority. It is also translated in English and does not require anything else. We submitted RFE in March 2021 and we still have not heard back. Tried contacting USCIS recently via chat and they said an officer will contact us within 15-30 days and they provided a case number to us.

I sent it in on Friday. I printed out screenshots of the webpage from Marketplace as well as Molina, our health insurance IDs, summary of benefits, etc. I hope it's enough because there is no way I had any of those forms mentioned in the instructions.

My provider also does not have an official form that covers all the requirements (i.e. explains coverage AND lists your name or ID number). I plan to just submit the Summary of Benefits form they have on their portal and I also got a letter of eligibility that states my coverage is active along with my card and the most recent 1095B/C I was sent. Maybe it's a good idea to send a printout of that webpage you mention. The information they want does not exist in a single form so their ridiculous requests deserve a ridiculous solution. 

The "at any time during the year" is not 100% accurate. Every insurance is different. Some only gives 30 or 60 days after the life event to add the spouse. 

@Timona It is a special enrollment but only valid for 1-2 months after marriage date. It's going to be almost 6 months for me.
