What would be the chances of getting approved?

Also, what are the chances of applying for a biz AMEX if I have little to no biz in the US? Can I still try to apply with the same address as my personal? Is that a risky move?

It's a bit of a tricky situation getting the most out of these rewards. I hope I can get through to some of them even with the extra obstacle I face...

Feedback / pointers would be greatly appreciated.
