USPS forwarding, hold-mail requests, and apartment mail problems can help explain what happened, but they do not replace a direct USCIS address update or a clean missing-notice record.
USCIS notices may be time-sensitive, may not forward reliably, and may still be tied to an old USCIS profile, field office, attorney account, or paper file.
Save AR-11 confirmations, online-account profile screenshots, USPS forwarding or hold-mail confirmations, Informed Delivery images, envelopes, and service-request numbers.
Ask for review before a missed biometrics, interview, RFE, oath, or abandonment deadline is treated as applicant fault because the mail path was incomplete.

Yes, it can support the timeline, but it should be paired with AR-11 records, online-account screenshots, service requests, and any USCIS response.
Build a record showing the move date, AR-11 submission, online account address, USPS forwarding, mail received, and attempts to get or reschedule the notice.
Review the facts, dates, immigration records, deadlines, and supporting documents before filing, traveling, or responding to USCIS.
Contact an attorney before submitting forms, answering government questions, missing a deadline, or relying on an uncertain immigration record.
