*IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
If Russia or one of the former Soviet republics is listed in your passport as country of birth, you are required to provide documented proof that you are no longer a citizen of the Russian Federation. Here are examples of such proof:
- a copy of your old Soviet passport that has departure stamp dated prior to February of 1992 and indicates that you immigrated for permanent residency;
- a copy of the visa to the country where you immigrated, in case your Soviet passport was confiscated upon departure;
- a copy of the document issued by Russian consulate or Embassy that verifies renouncement of your Russian citizenship, in case you renounced it officially;
- a copy of the passport issued by another country (including former Soviet republics) with departure stamp, in case you left that country and were a citizen of that country at the time of your departure.
Please note that becoming a US citizen does not make one automatically lose Russian citizenship. If you remain a citizen of the Russian Federation, it is advised to use a valid Russian travel passport, and the consulate reserves the right to deny a visa to applicants with dual (Russian and US) citizenship.
*YOU MUST MAIL US WITH YOUR APPLICATION EVEN IF YOU ARE APPLYING ONLINE:
- YOUR PASSPORT (with at least 2 blank visa-designated pages. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months after expiration of your Russian visa)
- TWO passport-size PHOTOGRAPHS (2 x 2, front of the face, plain background). No digital photos are accepted!
