It isn't a big deal for me to go to San Francisco to get a visa. I was just wondering if it was absolutely necessary. Sounds like it would be better to go through the Russian embassy anyway. I'm not sure how I feel giving my passport to a 'service provider'.
It's nice to hear someone say "it does not sound like this will be as difficult as I thought it would be." We don't hear that much in regards to Russian visas.
Fear not giving your passport to a service provider. It's a way of life for many of us. PM me if you want the name of a great company to work with in the Bay area.
Safe travels and enjoy Russia!
