Russian visas - again

[Genevra Gerhart]

Greetings:  I suggest you try another consulate, they all have their own
rules. Try Seattle.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Russian visas - again

Dear Colleagues,
I was dismayed to read on the San Francisco Russian Consulate's web page
that one can no longer apply for a visa by mail:
"In order to streamline and improve the visa obtaining process as well as
for security concerns the Russian visa section is no more processing visa
applications by mail. In the meanwhile the applicants unable to be present
in our visa section in person are recommended to rely on the services
provided by the tourist and visa processing agencies."

Does anyone have any advice on who to use? There seems to be considerable
variation in price.
Thank you in advance.

Jane
