листок убытия (listok ubitiya) and registration at consulate?

[apgk 0]

My fiancee was able to get the листок убытия from the required office in Russia and got herself de-registered and got all the stamps on her internal passport as well as got the листок убытия letter.

Now, they put a stamp on her internal passport and on that листок убытия letter that she has to register herself at the new place WITH IN 7 DAYS.

This 7 day limit is troubling her now - does anyone know what is the procedure for registering at the Russian Consulate in San Francisco?

and how much time it takes?

Apgk,

When she arrives in US you will have plenty of time to register with the embassy, if she wants to. People comming for permanent residence to US can register at the embassy or not. If she does not register, and her passport expires, in say 5 years, she'll need a new russian passport, she can go to the embassy, pay a fine, and get her new passport. The way I feel, it's just one of the first buracratic obsticles, that's not that important and should definetely not be worried about.

Mike.

I wouldn't worry so much about that. The 7 day rule might be something for registration within Russia. Not so practical when coming to the US. We didn't have any issues with this. Then again my wife was not registered for over a year when she finally got the little paper / stamp / seal/.

It's a pretty simple procedure. You can read all about it here:

Pretty much you bring a copy of the passport, green card, листок убытия, money order for $50, silly registration form, then you also write something on a blank piece of paper as directed by the officers there, something like "I am so and so and requesting registration from the consulate of Russia, and you wait I think one or two weeks.

thanks - currently she only has her passport and we would apply for her AOS early next year (so no green card now).

We are in souther california and I am assuming this can be done by mail/post and would not require a personal visit to the consulate?

I take it you didn't read the link. They don't write the information about services provided to Russian citizens in English, because they assume all Russian citizens can read Russian. Anyway, yes, it can be done by mail. But do follow their instructions correctly or they'll just send everything back. You'll just add a prepaid envelope to the package.
