Her internal passport is up to date I reckon, what she needs is the passport to leave the country. According to what they told her it'll take 1 month and a half max to renew it but they require documents of what she did over here, i'm not sure why...She's very worried they start processing her request already, after it's in motion then we can relax and just wait until the passport is sorted so she can finally leave. I think she entered the country on her russian passport which means it wasn't already expired but needs to be renewed.
What's amazing is she went to the russian embassy before travelling, got the visa to leave the country and everything, showed them the tickets.. And they didn't warn her she needed things before being able to leave. It's going to be a couple of months she's spending there doing nothing and wasting tons of money and i'm hoping that's just the couple... And if she's even a few weeks overdue October 1st, her deadline to sign up and attend college will pass.
Still one month and a half left until the day her tickets are booked, here's to hoping it gets sorted fast. One month and a half is still alot of time though, I do believe they'll sort everything out on time. Then again I don't know how the russian officials work
So, if her internal passport is up to date, her russian passport expired or about to expire how long do you think it'll take? She doesn't want to spend endless meaningless months over there doing nothing... And I certainly don't want to spend months without her. The 2 planned months were already going to be very hard, when I learned it might take longer I panicked...
