She got a new 3 year visa, same duration as her previous visa.
 
In case anyone wants to know, she had only 1 visit to the US on her old visa and that was her only visit to the US ever. She stayed about 1 month.

Such wonderful news!

Well after many request letters and just as many denials,,, Almaty, Kazakhstan has agreed to transfer the case.

This is probably my tenth trip to Russian. It's was a new passport with a new Visa though. 
I flew Air Serbia, I had a 12 hr layover where I did enter the country to do a little sight seeing. 
My flight landed at SVO at 01:00. I'm pretty sure I was the only US citizen on the flight

Just got into Moscow last night. I to have a 3 year visa and was pulled into a back room and interviewed by a Political Officer for about an hour. Luckily I had a copy of my wife's internal passport and our copy of our marriage certificate. He even called my wife and had her verify things

Well the wife's trip starts in the morning. The interesting part will be when I fly out two weeks latter. Will keep you posted 

Not all banks are SWIFT banned. I was in the WF branch office and the swift number was accepted 

OK, Wells Fargo can send wires to Raiffeizen bank. BUT it has to be done in person at a branch, the wells Fargo fee is 45$

Raiffeizen bank. But we have tried to wire anything yet. On tomorrow's to do list.

Just booked a flight for my wife and kids to fly to moscow. Air Serbia, NY to Belgrade to Moscow. 
Hopefully I'll be able to follow in a few weeks. The whole access to money is worrying. The inlaws have opened an bank account with a bank that has not been kicked off the SWIFT network. Hopefully my bank will be able to wire money to it.
