Russians will only get to the USA through the Internet

From the 25th October, Russians submitting documents for immigration visas to the USA need to complete an application on the US State Department’s website. This innovation does not yet concern the Consulate General in St. Petersburg or the Consulate General in Yekaterinburg: here applicants for non-immigration visas can for now use the old format for visa applications. It is assumed that the use of the electronic application will help to standardize and make safer the process of applying for a visa.
