[/box]There has been some speculation that an agreement could be reached in the future whereby a visa for travel between the United States and Russia will no longer be required. Until that time however, such applications can be handled by the consulate in Seattle or an application can be made online.
While you may prefer to make an in person application, the online Russian Visa procedure has helped to streamline and to quicken things up considerably.
// If you are looking to travel in the near future then it would certainly be worth your while to look at outsourcing the process and saving yourself time. Any of the online companies such as the one advertised here can handle the process from start to finish and get things moving for you in no time at all.
