stepdaughter will not arrive unless we allow boyfriend to arrive

The other odd thing is Russia requiring foreign students to leave every 3 months. Don't see the rationale behind that.

Actually, I don't know how I didn't catch this, but as a person who studied in Russia for over a year, they don't. They require you to renew the visa and registration every three months, but you don't have to leave the country for that, you only have to pay the equivalent about $5 so that your university can process the renewal. Every three months the lines to get the necessary documents to do this, at my university, were huge, and the rule applies to everyone, not just US citizens. So yes, another BS the wife has thrown at OP.

Did not think she was in Russia, but that made no sense anyway.
