Location change

My I485 is in progress and it was transferred fron TSC to NBC and there was one more status update and current status is‘Case Transferred to another office and new office has Jurisdiction for your case’. My question is- due to my current residence address, it must have been with relavant Field Office. If I change my address within the state, will FO will change again leading to delay?
