Need advice about moving again

[chicha 9]

Dear Vjers,

I have been stressed out about address change and missing USCIS notices. Yesterday a notice sent to my second to the last address confirmed my fear.

I am attaching a cropped image. Basically it says my file is at Boston field office now.

I was about to move out of Boston end of August to Seattle after finishing my graduate degree. I didn't look for housing (and I am staying in temporary housing right now, but can look if necessary). I had no idea this case would drag on for so long. Now that my case is sitting in Boston field office for an indefinite amount of time and unknown possibility of interview, would it be better if I wait it out, find a temporary job? Since we don't know how USCIS works the pros and cons are unclear:

Pros (of staying): staying in Boston may help processing this case faster, no more office transfers, I just really want to be done with the interview (if there's one) and process.

Cons (of staying): It would be mentally exhausting to stay extra time for this reason, I'd say 3 months would be pretty bad and 6 months intolerable. Boston office has a long interview queue and rumors have it that it's 18 months but realistically, another 6 months would be common.

What do you guys think? Is it worth it to stay extra time in a place just to see the end of this so-far-14-mo-long journey, or it's quite insane- that I should move when I need to?

I'd stay put until ROC is resolved. Changing address again will delay the processing one more time.
