When does Russian Citznship expire?

[MDR 0]

For the most part, Russia could care less what someone's doing here. If she's stamped one way in her Russian passport, that's how they're going to recognize her. Whether or not she shows them an American green card has nothing to do with it, on their end. (Other than maybe trying to get some money out of her.)

If she has no one to trust the flat to, selling it before she leaves would be a good idea. If she can find someone to care for it, she could keep it and the status of her citizenship here or there would have little bearing on the legality of ownership. Her location would be a big factor though!

Can her son set up a bank account to have the pension automatically deposited each month? He could then transfer the funds to an international bank or use a credit card/ATM card to withdraw them here in the States. Or, in true Russian fashion, he could "sell" the payments to someone for cash, and then divert the checks or payments to that person for the remainder of the time he'd be paid. Kind of like a cash-option on an annuity, except the mafia would probably be involved. Or, maybe even someone like an uncle or grandmother.

Thanks everyone for the information,

It seems to just not worry about it is the thing to do.

I told her she will probably have the best of both worlds.

she is checking into the banking of the pension, because now it is deposited into a bank

in Moscow. and they withdraw from Kyrgyzstan.

she will find out if his present card is good internationally.

sorry it took so long to answer but our work season has just started.

I will no longer have internet everyday, but will be dropping by from time to time to check in

and see how everyone is doing

good luck, Mike
