changes in visa process

[Renee (Stillings) Huhs]

Yes, we have been dealing with it for the last couple of weeks. The system
is indeed often down. Have to keep trying. Even when it works it is
PAINFULLY slow. Can take up to an hour just to fill it out due to slow page
loading.

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?
