Question on relocation from TSC to CSC

It's been a long road for me on my way to the permanent residence, and it looks like that the date of adjudication of my I-485 is near. Since my receipt date is April 2002, I am hoping that I am close to the end of the road.

My question is related to whether or not I should notify BCIS (AR-11) of my relocation to California. I kept my Florida address since at the time I was relocating, even though it was after 180 days have passed since filing of I-485 I didn't know if it was acceptable to relocate to another state under jurisdiction of another service center. So I decided to keep FL address, and a friend of mine in FL is getting my mail.

Right now I am still working for the same company and I never changed the job I originally had. I only transfered from FL to CA. What do you suggest that I should do :

1) Wait for adjudication. In case RFE gets issued or file gets transferred to local FL office, then show that I still work for the same company in CA.

2) File AR-11 for change of address and notify BCIS of relocation. That may prompt transfer to California Service Center or Local Office, which may delay things, which I defintelly would not like.

I have a feeling that I will get GC in both cases since I have worked for the same comapny and had same job for more than 5 years, but I am just curious what suggestions forum members may have.

Thanks in advance
 
Filing AR-11 is a must must.
However - you can opt not to inform BCIS center of change of address- this has nothing to do with AR-11. Changing address mostly does not change center.
