Hi! Can you go into more detail regarding this? We were working with someone from the state department who was referred to us by our senator. We have a unique situation. Could you help me with how you contacted them and actually got through?

Great info. And thanks to everyone else who has pitched in, too. I'm reading all of the comments and considering everything. I have residency in Russia. However, we of course would not be applying in Moscow since they've essentially shut down. Would another country recognize this residency? Belarus would taking into account a law between the countries that was just passed, but operations there are also shut down. I also suppose it wouldn't too difficult to get residency in Turkey if it really came down to it. Is the only way of knowing whether we qualify for our case being heard is showing up at the door or via email? Lastly, I want to ask a hypothetical question here. Others have mentioned some extenuating circumstances as a way of speeding up processing. Is that solely dependent on the CO or is there someone else who determines that

This all seems truly insane to me. So, the fastest option for my wife and child to join me in America is 7 months to one year? The only other variant is to wait in a 3rd country. Is that right? I was under the impression that before if I lived in the U.S. that the green card would be expedited to one month. Also, the same if I were to receive a job offer in the U.S. while abroad. Was this never the case? Fortunately, Russia has never given me such problems because then I'd truly have no idea what to do. My wife owns two apartments in Russia with a well-paying job, but her being married to an American and having an American child would basically destroy any chance she has at a visa, right?

Didn't know about this an neither did my wife. Could you tell me how my wife could find this group via whatsapp?

So, update. Daughter has her passport. No idea how to get my wife and myself out. If I am in America and my wife is in Russia, is there a procedure that expedites her green card or visa?

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.
