The United States suspends the issuance of visas in the Russian Federation

26
As the RIA NewsFrom August 23, the United States suspends the procedure for issuing its non-immigrant visas throughout Russia. It is assumed that this restriction will last until September 1, but the procedure will be resumed only at the US Embassy in Moscow.

As the American side explains, this measure is of a forced nature and is caused by a reduction in the number of employees of the diplomatic mission in the Russian Federation (for 755 people - to 455 employees, as prescribed by Moscow). In this regard, it is explained that the new rules will be tied to the restrictions imposed by the Kremlin.



The Foreign Ministry on this occasion has not yet decided on retaliatory steps, but promised that it would not “disrupt the evil on American citizens”.

If someone hoped that in this case a bad example would be contagious, then he miscalculated. The American authors of these decisions launched another attempt to cause dissatisfaction of Russian citizens with the actions of the Russian authorities.

- Sergey Lavrov declared.

The website of the US Embassy explains the possible actions of Russian citizens in connection with the restrictions imposed. Those who have already applied for a visa prior to this decision and were expecting an interview at the embassy should contact the representatives of the diplomatic mission to reassign it to a later date. The same applies to applicants at consulates in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok. Phones are listed on the embassy website. The change in the number of staff in the US embassy will also affect the schedule for a number of immigration visas. For details of all those interested in the fate of their application are asked to contact the embassy directly.

In total, in 2016, the United States issued 190 026 non-immigration visas of all categories to Russian citizens. 70-80% of this stream - Russian businessmen, travelers and students who decided to study in the United States. The proportion of Russians who decided to visit the United States as tourists does not exceed 25-30%.

    Yes, and not really wanted to go there. I am not upset. Here in the Crimea on a new bridge, but without a visa ... this is a thrill. Perhaps I’ll go to finish building good.

      You are not, but the best people in Russia are yes! Those who cut loot, and those that are figures of "high" art. For example, Pugacheva, Galkin, Kirkorov, Obakayte ... And so many others. They have houses there! How do they get home ??
      And what the mob thinks on this issue is of no interest to anyone.

    This is how many Soros friends in Russia will suffer? It is necessary to shoot them so that they do not suffer (a joke of humor).

    and caused by the reduction in the number of employees of the diplomatic mission in the Russian Federation


    Why lie then ...
    there is such a tricky word
    Restriction
    ...
    this is just the case.

    Nothing prevents the US diplomatic mission from hiring people from us to speed up work ... Americans are cheating as always in the hope of deceiving us.

      Will not work. Any employee sitting on the issuance of visas and interviews, previously receives special training aimed at identifying the "desired" and "unwanted" elements. Because desirability and undesirability is determined by the criteria of the United States, local here are not helpers. Not to mention the fact that under the guise of locals, those who will flood the United States with precisely “undesirable elements” may “fall” wink

      Your sarcasm is not entirely clear. After all, this young shoot is part of our society, for which is the future of the country. We can say that the Americans have already won the first half. By the way, for Navalny, too, one youth is coming! It turns out - we educate poorly, they don’t teach that at school ... Those who lived under the USSR will leave eventually. And who will come to replace?

        No one is going anywhere. We went already, behind the promised nishtyaks - they threw the same anal one. He is there, as if sideways. It’s for Leshik that the “young girls” are “drowning”, which, in principle, is understandable. Give them any man, a little more attractive than a monkey - they will "drown" for him. The main goal, as a rule, is to get together and scream, to protest. What is the protest against? Duc, they themselves do not know. Well, all these performances before the first “snot”, which was demonstrated not so long ago.

    Only their fifth column was put in an uncomfortable position. How will they travel to the "new" homeland?
    Still, flights would be reduced and forbidden for their airlines to fly through the territory of the Russian Federation ... laughing

    ... and those who have ALREADY paid for a visa will not be refunded ...

    In general, this is another message to our elites - when you turn off Putin.
    Ordinary people "on the drum" have come to our rich place on a causal place, they need to constantly wander around the hill, carry the kids, visit the real estate, heal, get it, or just spend their Carbovans on a beautiful life.

    The American authors of these decisions started another attempt to cause dissatisfaction of Russian citizens with the actions of the Russian authorities

    So the Russian "liberals" and "fighters against the regime" already with relish and moaning suck this event. Naturally, their eternal postulate runs through the red line - it is necessary to be friends with America, not to react to their actions, to go to the United States to meet, and then on to their eternal list.
