Mailing documents to Moscow?

Very cool!

And just in case: if for some reason the documents don't make it by her interview, she should show up to the interview anyway. They'll go ahead and do the interview with her, but won't issue the visa until she submits the documents. As long as she shows up to the interview she'll be fine and she can mail the documents to them later.

We used DHL and it was close to the Embassy but I'm not personally familiar with it. My wife handled that and said it was close and went very smoothly for both the info I sent her and the delivery of her visa docs.

Wifey says the DHL is about 1 1/2 blocks from Embassy. (north 1 block then west 1/2 block)

I hear you man. I made it as far as Chicago. Tanya is off to Kiev alone for the interview tomorrow. #######!

And I ended up scanning everything I could and emailing it to Anna because the package has been stuck in Great Britain for 3 days.

Good luck, BJ!

Same to you....

I did the same thing. Kiev appears to be less strict than Moscow but I am concerned about a copy of my certified divorce decree not passing muster.

What do you think might be a problem? The copy is certified, right? Should be fine.

It's a scanned copy of a certified copy. I was taking it with me for her interview.

I see. Worst case is they hold of issuing the visa until you send them an actual certified copy. Don't worry about it too much, it won't have any impact on whether she's approved or not.

All is good! Visa approved!

Thanks to all.

Yes, she had the copy. When I get a chance to talk to her in depth I'll post an interview review. Now she is on the train back home. She handled it exceptionally well alone and on short notice. I'm very proud of her.

Well, as it turns out, Russian mail was more reliable than Fed Ex. The original package I sent showed up today and she was able to retrieve it from the post office with a half hour to spare of it closing. And she leaves tomorrow morning at 5am. All I can do is laugh.
