Recently got married and my wife lives in a different state. Her kids (my step kids) go to school there. Better schools. I work thus see them during weekends and some week days when im off work. Its a 45minutes drive. Will that cause a problem when filing for her?
Also, do i use my home state address as my residential address or our house together? All my work related documents have "my" address, not ours. I get some mail at our house though...
Thank you
 
Where do you call HOME? I assume it is where the family unit lives together. Use that address. Will the different addresses cause problems? No one can tell. It is not an unusual arrangement however not all interviewers are the same. It may raise ones antenna while another will not see any issue with it.

Honesty is the best policy however do not volunteer information unless you are specifically asked. If your marriage is bona fide, you should not have much/any trouble.

Thanks a lot. I thought so too but was kind of worried about what to put on the biographic information form because the address on record at work is my previous house which is home during the week. I do not want to seem like a liar or complicate things without cause. Or maybe i should just put both addresses as my residential because they both are :)
 
Are you planning to maintain that dual household situation indefinitely? If you're planning to move everybody together in one place, which one?

Is there an important difference between the two residences that would make it more clear which one is the real home, such as the house with the kids being a 3-bedroom with a mortgage and your close-to-work place is a rented one-bedroom apartment? Or if they're both owned, is one up for sale?

We are planning to all move to a different, bigger house. Where the kids are is a small rented house. I stay at my moms during the week to avoid paying double the rent.

Which one of you is the US citizen and which is the immigrant? Does whoever is the immigrant have legal immigration status? Do the children have legal status?

If all of you have legal status which isn't expiring soon, and you plan to move together to the new house within the next few months, it might be simpler to just wait until you're all in the same house, and then file the green card paperwork. That way you won't complicate things by moving mid-stream during the green card process, and you'll have important documents at the new place (lease/mortgage, utility bills etc.) and you'll remove the address ambiguity that you're wrestling with now.
