I have been to Russia ten times in the past year, it will be no problem; although I would advise you get a one year business visa with multiple entry. I used to do single visas for Russia entry but that gets expensive very fast.

Business visa is not hard to get, only need an AIDS test (HIV), letter from Russian business, etc and a little time to get the visa. Like I said, I have been 10 times in past year with no problems. They even know my by face I have been though Moscow so many times; the waiters at TGIF restaurant know me by name.

No worries mate; go and see her; this is your life together.

This is the best way to go if you are frequent visitor.
In my situation my fiancée was a full time student / part time worker. She had time to stand in line, although she says it was less than 30 minutes. We were in no hurry. And more importantly I was there for 9 weeks and 12 weeks respectively. Too long for a tourist visa and with only one visit a year, not enough to justify a business visa. Best part was the ease of registration during the days when bribing some hotel official seemed like a pain in the butt. Tourist visa holders under Russian law at least in up til 2004 were expected to live in hotels and even living in rented apartments was iffy.
I agree with you Slim, that for someone whose time is better spent elsewhere the extra $50-$100 is nothing.
