One option would be to first contact MBE in your area and set up an Ohio address. I think they even give a real addy and not just some PO box. You pay fees and all, I am sure, but then you can get mail there in that state and that should work as far as addresses for your bills are concerned. That might be enough to prove residency on some level the credit union may require . . . .
good day,
#1 - according to the website you list, the cu needs a clear copy of your drivers license or state id card. i do not think an mbe address will cut it [this is my personal opinion, i have never tried this].
#2 - the only way i can see this as an advantage is if i can use a visa gc to purchase a money order to handle my non-cc transactions [e.g., mortgage payment]. so to me, the question in my imho is really . . . where can one purchase a money order using a visa gc??
