Anytime a LPR moves they are required to inform USCIS of their address
change. I believe she could move to a new address while her N-400 is
pending. At least, from the USCIS website it appears to be the
possible to move while your case is pending:
My advice to the Op would be to call the USCIS and ask. It's a simple
question, really.
Here's a direct cut/paste quote from the USCIS site:
17. What do I do if my address has changed?
If you have a pending application or petition at a Service Center, go
online at www.uscis. gov or call the NCSC toll-free number at
1-800-375-5283 when you move to report your address change. Please
note that every alien must report a change of address whenever he or
she moves. Special Registration address change requirements also apply
to some aliens. Note you are required to file a Form AR11, Change of
Address Form.
