Very common practice in the Russian community here in the states. However, all we usually do is just repackage and dump it off at the local post office in the town we are going to. Unless it is the same town nobody goes out of their way to hand deliver. And we usually get the stuff from locals, here on VJ we'd have to mail stuff domestically first. I don't know who to trust more, random people online or the Russian postal service?!

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"

We are waiting for the packet from the embassy. Does the embassy just send it "regular mail"? My fiance lives in Moscow, and the NVC said they mailed the package on the 20th, so it should have been to him in a day or two...Any ideas? If it's lost should we write them? Or should we just use the embassy website? Do they have ALL the recquired forms there?

It usually takes about 29 years to get to their house. OK, more like two weeks, but it seems like it takes extra long. They send it through the Post system, so maybe that's why it takes a while. It's bigger than a letter, after all!

Patience! He'll get it soon. If he doesn't have it within a week or so, I'd say you should contact the embassy by phone and ask where it is.

You know what is really crazy about this rate?

Back in February, Aeroflot offered round trip airfaire from February to April from Los Angeles to Moscow for $598 with tax. If you send one or two more packages, it almost makes it more cost efficient to personally deliver!

The 2+ days of travel is more expensive than a few hundred bucks for many of us. Back before overnight mail (and electronic networks), it wasn't uncommon to pay couriers to fly money/checks/papers around the country.

I'll look into how much a next-day courier costs from NY to Moscow.

2004-08-23: Met in Chicago

2005-10-19: K-1 Interview, Moscow (approved)

2007-02-23: Biometrics

2007-04-11: AOS Interview (Approved)
