Visa for student from Georgia

[Goldberg, Stuart H]

Dear SEELangers,

I have a student from (post-Soviet) Georgia who is interested in participating in one of our abroad programs in Russia (shameless plug: http://www.modlangs.gatech.edu/lbat/russia).  He is a Georgian citizen and worried about whether he will be able to get a visa.

Has anyone had experience with students from Georgia?  Are they being issued visas to Russia right now?  

(The visa is categorized as general humanitarian, youth relations, i.e., not a student visa, and would be issued at the Embassy in D.C.)

Best,
Stuart Goldberg
