Russian visas - again

[Christopher Pike]

I received a Russian visa by mail from the Seattle consulate just this last
February and I did not have any troubles.  Perhaps something has changed in
the last 3 months, but it might be worth giving the Seattle consulate a
shot.

> Dear Colleagues,
> I was dismayed to read on the San Francisco Russian Consulate's web page

> "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.
