changes in visa process

[Ronald J. Meyer]

I travelled to Russia in May and used a visa service: www.travisa.com. I
filled out the application on line, sent them my passport, and received my
passport with visa in 10 days or so. They also provide expedited service.

Subject: [SEELANGS] changes in visa process

  Dear colleagues,

     I'm in the process of attempting to get a visa for travel to Russia 
later this month.  I had submitted everything and then got it returned 
because beginning July 1 all applications must be done on line.  
Currently the Embassy form is unavailable - the website is down - and 
the visa service they refer you to is not answering their phone.  Any 
suggestions?  Is anyone else in the middle of this?
