Would be great if we could leave politics out of this completely. Thanks.
I am American. I married my now wife who is Russian. We have a child who is 2.
The Moscow embassy is closed. There are no flights out to Poland or anywhere in Europe. We can go to Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan.
We flew to the country of Georgia. We planned on getting my daughters American passport. After we got her CRBA, they told us that they could do her passport that we had to go to Poland, which didn't sound right, but after nearly two months of waiting, we were just happy to leave after getting the CRBA.
My wife and I have been trying to plan to go to the U.S., not live, but visit, for sometime. Some people have told me it's impossible, since I am American and that she'll never receive a travel visa. Others have said that it's possible. I don't know.
1. Am I forced to go to Poland to obtain my daughter's American passport?
2. Do both parents have to be there with our daughter?
3. How can we do that when Poland and the EU will not issue visas to Russians?
4. Is it truly impossible for my wife to get a travel visa? She owns two homes and makes a good a salary and our daughter is enrolled in their version of pre-k.
5. Can we not do my daughters passport via mail?
6. Can we visit another country? If so, how do we know which country we can go to do a passport and attempt a travel visa?
Thank you.
