Calling US Embassy in Moscow

[mishab 1]

I got a letter from NVC saying that our case was forwarded to the US Embassy in Moscow. I called NVC to get a sense on how long it takes for the documents to travel between US and Russia. I was told that it take about 3-5 days to reach the embassy and I, if I want to get an update, I should call the embassy directly and give them the case number.

So late last night I called the embassy and found out that I have to pay to get the status of our visa application. Was I given a wrong number or this is how US does business overseas now?

If you read the Embassy's website you'll see that telephone calls are charged a fee.

Emails are free and that is the only method I used to communicate with them. Works like a champ.

It is a scam . They are rude and will likely not have any info you cannot get via email.
