US visa requirements

[Genevra Gerhart]

I have a Russian friend who comes annually to join a  university research
team for a period of 1-2 months.

I thought you might be interested in knowing that:

Now everyone applying for a J-1 (temporary work) visa  is required to supply
the work address, telephone, dates of entering and leaving for the current
job and 5 previous ones. Then names, addresses, and telephones of children,
spouse, parents, and sisters/brothers. Then names, addresses, and telephones
for 2 people, not relatives, that would confirm the information.

This information is required despite the fact that these people come every
year, and sometimes twice in a year.

Just in case you get tired filling out Russian visa questionnaires.
