Alright, I'm 22 years old. I'm married to a wonderful man who is the father of my two kids. =) He is a US Marine and currently deployed in afghan. We have been married over a year, together for almost 4. He has been a citizen for about 2 years now. he was helping me get my papers in order but since he deployed I am stuck on my own =(
I live alone in Dallas, GA. No where near any military base..

I have a paper that lists everything I need to apply. I have all the papers filled out. I have done my medical checkup.. I have my passport photos. Copies of our marriage certificate, my military ID. And I just filed the taxes for year 2010. So i think I am ready to go, right? What else might I need to send in??

On some of the papers it asks what USCIS office I am applying at, what do I put there???
And last of all, where do I send all the papers to?? I am sooo confused.
 
Check the USCIS website for the "Military Helpline". It is a group dedicated to assisting military and their families with immigration issues just like yours. Given his deployment status, I would expect that you and he would receive excellent service on your case. Please take advantage of this rather than posting questions to the forum. Look at the dropdown menu for specific link to information specific to military families. Even if you feel you have everything you need, check with them in order to get the advantage of any special considerations they can provide.

In addition, even though you are not living at his base, you should still be in contact with the family support group for his command. The spouses that run the group are knowledgeable about resources available to you. I am so sorry you are not closer to base. My daughter is a military spouse and the support she receives and gives makes it so much easier when her husband is gone - or even when she just wants to get out for an evening with the girls. They finally got into housing and it has been wonderful for both the entire family but especially the children having playmates nearby and a pool and playground too.
