I started my naturalization procedure this year in March. I had my biometrics appointment on April 23rd. I have been abroad the last 9 years only one time (to renew my passport) and this summer I have to renew it again, and since I have not seen my relatives for many years I'll be away for a full month: the total month of July. What I fear is that according to Murphy's law I'll receive the letter in the beginning of July in my absence about the interview/test appointment happening while I'll be still away. What's the best way to handle this situation?
My wife said that normally we'd just make the USPS STOP our letters, but I think that would just cause the mail to be accumulated and I would miss the mails without USCIS knowing about it. Does USCIS have a method to indicate in advance that I won't be able to receive mail during the month of July? Otherwise the only option I can think of is to give my mail key to someone who can empty my mailbox regularly. Unfortunately the only couple in the apartment complex we are friends with (to the extent that I would trust them with my mail, including my stock trading statements, retirement account statements, etc) will move away in June. So I don't know such deeply trusted person as of now within the complex.
If somehow I could get a hold of the mail (someone collects it and scans it for me) USCIS notices always have the option to postpone an appointment.
Can you advise any solution to avoid missing any mail?
