Case Status changed from " Case was received" to "Notice Was Returned To USCIS Because The Post Office Could Not Deliver It"?

To find out what is happening with your case, you should call the U.S.C.I.S. National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283. A customer representative should be able to tell you what notice was returned to the agency. The notice usually means that U.S.C.I.S. sent something to you, and for some reason the notice was returned, e.g. name was not on the mailbox or postman did not recognize that you lived at the address. As to whether a change in your H-4 dependent visa case will impact your H-1B petition, it made depending upon the content of the notice. If the notice that was sent out was a denial, you would likely receive a denial on the change of status part of the H-1B even if the petition part is approved by U.S.C.I.S.
