I am looking for a school to study Russian at, in Russia somewhere!

Well OK, since no one has heard of that school, has anyone heard of this one?

Центр Интегрированного Обучения
тел. (495) 785-22-14
моб. (905) 741-02-97

This one? http://nourost.ru/
Центр Интегрированного Обучения looks like it's mostly for kids. And is not a language school.

No, it is this one:

Some language schools will arrange visa invitations for you.

DDT, why don't you try one of the "live with your teacher"-schemes? There are several organizations..euh... organizing ( ) that, and as far as I know, it comes with a visa. Most of the long term courses also come with a visa invitation though (for a student visa of course - any particular reason why it needs to be a business visa?).

I'm (probably, I hope) going to do the "live with your teacher" thing next year - I prefer that to the schools. The schools are mostly attended by students, and I love eighteen-year-olds, no prob, but - as a *~*mature adult*~* ( ), spending a month sitting in a classroom with them.... Different goals, different interests, etc.....

I know the school can arrange the invitation, but they can only do it for a Student Visa. I have decided to get a 1 year Business Visa so I can have more freedom. Who knows I might stay and get a job. You can't extend a Student Visa. The Russian chick at the Russian Consulate said to get a business visa, too, since I would be teaching a few hours on the side.
Anyway I can have an Invitation sent to me by a travel agent for about $160 US.

I taught in Russia on a student visa, the militsia aren't gonna burst into the classroom demanding to see a business visa.

I got a business visa last time I went. But my invitation was from a university for Study. We were just told to apply for a business visa with the invitation. This was the UK consulate, and also was about 6 months ago so the system and forms and everything will have changed 3 times since then
