HI,
We applied in April.
Now we are moving out to Dubai and will be leaving end of July while the application is still in progress.

I have a friend here whose address I can use.

Question is

Shall I contact Home Office about the change of address ?
or
just put a redirection from my current address to my friend's address?

Which is preferred?

hi there....
I had to move and on 13/06/13, my application was in progress....
i did change the address on the UKBA website and a I did redirection.I even received email from UKBA my details was gonna be updated on the system in 72 hours.
I received my approval letter on 28/06/13 dated 20/06/13 on the new address because of the redirection, because they did posted to the old address. :(
best advise is do both and try to keep checking the old address, because on my approval letter they requested me to book a ceremony within 21 days from the letter date.
good lucky. :)
