i am also perplexed with this question however i am not much worried go online or go to post office and adjust your temporary address. They will forward all your documents to that address for certain period of time, however, they might charge you couple of dollars, Please update me about this! another thing, how can you find Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Service in your state?

thanks Raju for your input. I heard that especially, the DV letters dont get forwarded to your current address. I will post you about the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Service as soon as i find abt it.

Raju, I searched USCIS and the state that i am residing now in google, and it gave me a bunch of locations in my area. Why dont you try that too. i hope this helps.

First of all, change your address with the post office. They will forward your mails to your new address. You said, they don't forward DV letters, it might not be true because they are your mails which are addressed in your name and your address. Still, make sure with the post office. If so, hold your mails and pick up from the post office yourselves.  Sometimes, even you change your address, post office don't deliver every letters. In my case, I changed my address but they delivered some to my new address and they delivered some to my old address. So, you might wanna keep the mailbox key of your old apartment. Normally, the residential properties do not lease your old apartment for at least few months because it takes time to clean and they sell other available ones first. May, June and July; just three months go and check your old mailbox regularly when you will be expecting your DV letter.
