Visa in US passport for Russian citizen?
My situation is that I need to travel to Russia within the next couple of weeks (ideally, about 1 week from today).
I have:
- A US Passport
- An old expired Russian international passport (expired two years ago)
I had (but lost) a Russian internal passport that would still be valid.
If I understand correctly, it would take at least a few months to replace my Russian passport. What I am hoping is that there is some way to get a Visa using my US passport. I know that technically this is against the rules and that they may notice that my US passport states that I was born in the US. However, I have heard reports that some people have had success with this approach.
Have any Russian-born forks on here successfully gotten a rush Russian Visa on a US passport without providing proof of renouncing their citizenship? If so, what agency did you use?
Any suggestions for other approaches?
TLDR; need to go to Russia in a week or two. Have a US Passport and am a Russian citizen but do not have Russian passport. Looking for any agency that can help and willing to pay whatever crazy fees they impose.
