So, my wife and I thought it would be wise, despite the lengthy wait times, to hold off on sending out our initial paperwork for a number of reasons. Particularly, us being fully organized since we're doing this on our own with no lawyers, as well as having some expendable finances for general costs associated with the process, interview and medical travel and whatever surprises we might encounter throughout this process. Now, of course we're kicking ourselves as the wait times seem to become longer and longer. By all appearances, we would have been better off not getting married and opting for the I-129f instead. At least based on the current Canadian processing times.

I'm going to be sending off our paperwork here in the coming weeks but am now faced with some concerns. My boss approached me with a rather attractive job proposition (financially speaking) that would relocate me in the coming months from northern California to Nashville, Tennessee. How does me, the petitioner, moving impede the progress, if at all, of the processing? Clearly we've put this off long enough and don't want to wait any longer, however, I want the process to be least complicated as possible.

Any advice on how to best navigate this scenario would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

A change of address by the petitioner is not going to affect the process in any meaningful way.

Thanks you guys! I appreciate it. Based on what I've observed on peoples' timelines, this move would presumably occur somewhere between NOA1 and NOA2. I imagine, on my end, it's just a process of submitting another form to inform them the change of address once obtain it.
