УДВ? Управление Делами Военными?
Я тоже родился Нью Йорке. Я живу около города Албани.
А куда? To Moscow, to fufill my dream of working in menial labor in the Russian world forever (или когда мне скучно...).

Matroskin Kot is correct.
In Russian "жить за границей" usually means "living in a foreign country" so you have to go through custom to get there.
