Hello everybody,

My American sister-in-law(Missy) and I are going to Russia in April.She will be applying for a homestay visa. My mom had applied for an official invitation for Missy and I received it today. That`s when I noticed that the dates on it are April 27th through May 26th. Our flight for Moscow leaves JFK on April 26th... It arrives in Moscow on the 27th. Is that a big problem? Will she be able to enter Russia? Where will she be going through immigration and customs? In Moscow or JFK?

I've done it several times, never had a problem. Customs and Immigration in Russia first, then in USA coming back.

You are absolutely fine!Her visa starting on 27th will be stamped at Russia.And she will be in Russia only on the 27th.

The visa will be valid the day she lands in the country,so everything is in good shape.Do not worry and have a good trip!

Just in case somebody else is wondering. Just called the Russian Embassy and they said it wouldn`t be a problem.
