arrowMailing address vs Physical address

Hello,

My Husband and I reside with a family member. We do not have any utility bills in our name other then credit cards/store cards/insurance/cell phone bill/tax/etc... But the thing is most of our mail goes to my mailing address which is a PO Box. A few come to the physical address. I had this PO Box for a few years now. Therefore the address which displays on the bills displays the PO Box. However the account when open has the physical address noted on file. Will this be an issue? Do I need to get a copy from the accounts showing the physical address at least? I will have my relative write up a sworn affidavit stating we've been living there every since such and such date.

Also how far back do we need to submit evidence for each bills? As far back as when my Husband was added to them or the most current statements? I'm in the process now of getting our documents together to send off in roughly 2 weeks time.

Thanks in advance

arrowHelp I130 Submission

Hi.

My wife and I were wed in the Ukraine in early March. We've been living together in various locations including a brief two month stay in Germany. We recently decided that we'd like to go back to the States.

03/2010 - 07/2010 - Odessa
07/2010 - 08/2010 - Munich
08/2010 - Present - Odessa

Now, we prepared the entire I-130 packet and shipped it off to Moscow's USCIS by the recommendation of an immigration attorney. Mistake #1.

They're returning it now and we're looking at where we need to submit it.

Technically, I have not been living in the Ukraine continuously for the past six months. I also haven't been back to the States since my wedding.

We are desperately hoping to submit the I-130 to Kiev, I have a three (3) year visa to the Ukraine. Will this be enough to please the Consulate?
Does anyone have prior experience with this consulate? What can I expect?

If not, which USCIS center am I to send the packet to?

Thank a million,
Cameron & Anastasiya
