Hi everyone I had a question with regards to police certficates coming from Moscow. My wife who lives in Almaty talked to the Russian embassy with regards to getting the police certifate from there, well the man on the phone from the embassy said it will take at least 2 months!!! Now has anyone else from Russian or the CIS expernced anything like that, and is he just getting my wife scared or is he telling the truth. Any sort of answers or experences that you may have I am happy to hear about it because her interview is on the 19th of April and well I dont want to have her wait any longer then what needs to be sigh!! Thanks in advance

From what i know it's true. My fiance lives in Israel but originally is from Ukraine. He had to go to the ukrainian embassy ( tomorrow morning has an appt) and he requests it from them and yes he was told that it'll take 2 months.......so i am assuming she has to go to the closest russian embassy and do the same. i wonder if she can have an interview and then just bring the rest of the papers once she gets them? You might need to email them and ask that.

They may not follow there own supposed law but:

Russian law (MVD Order no. 965, dated November 1, 2001) mandates that the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) provide police certificates both to Russian citizens and to foreigners who have lived or are living in Russia. The law states that in Russia, MVD offices must provide the certificate within 30 days. Those residing outside of Russia, both Russian citizens and non-citizens, may either delegate a Power-of-Attorney to apply for the certificate on their behalf in Russia, or apply directly to the Russian Consulate. Police certificates should note all names that the person has used in Russia, and should note the MVD branches in all locations that were queried.

It takes exactly one month to get the police certificate from the Main Information Centre in Russia, and there is no way around it.

But then this is an issue with the Russian Consulates, they are usually slow, inefficient and not very helpful. At least the Russian Consulate in Denmark. The told me once that they send correspondence to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs only once in a month! So, the entire process of the obtaining papers through the Consulate may take up to 3 month! 2 months is not that bad

But she may try to go to the Consulate in person and try to negociate with them, may be they can send a request for the certificate asup. It usually helps to talk to them in person.

Order a paid service, they will obtain it for you fast and cheap. Try this one. There's an ICQ contact there if you want to talk to them.

EVERYONE THANKS ALOT!!!!! She actually has her appointment with the russian consulate in Almaty tomorrow so maybe there is a way where they can get off there bums and do it quickly haha, but I guess the thing is she has her interview on the 19th of april so luckily she can still have her interview but she just wont be issued a visa till they recieve that russian police certificate and if you ask me thats just a big thorn in the side, but I am sure alot of you have felt like that too.

But again thanks alot everyone you really helped alot and we thank you alot for that

well she got back from her meeting with russian consulate today and they told her 1 in a half to 2 months for her certificate, but i guess there might be a chance she can fly to moscow and get the certificate there and get it sooner and if that be the case well looks like she will do this
