changes in visa process

[Renee (Stillings) Huhs]

Yes, it is all about the consulate's online system and nothing to do with
the agencies.

As Josh mentioned in an earlier note, the Consul is also very frustrated and
has even asked the Ministry to extend use of paper until they sort this out
- but so far nothing developed on that front. He has suggested contacting
the Russian press - something that can get to the attention of the Ministry.
Moscow Times, etc.

  Just so everyone knows, here's Travisa's response to my inquiry of how 
to proceed (since the Russian Embassy site is down):

Good afternoon, there is an issue with the Russia web site, may I 
suggest that you try again later.

Several people mentioned good agencies to work with - it does seem the 
issue here isn't the agencies, but the Russian Embassy webpage.

Might this be a time to ask our professional organizations to raise the 
issue?
