Well gidday there peoples! I was supposed to be going to Октябрски a few weeks ago but things got held up. I found out yesterday that the local office in Уфа rejected my passport and would not allow for an invitation. They gave no explanation. What do you think their reason was for being so rude to poor old DDT. No one seems to have any idea and I would sure like to know what the hell they are thinking.
Over and out. DDT
Do you really think they wouldn't find out that you are a spy? :wink:
Hmmm.....I was sure that would not be a problem for them as I sent them a a passport photograph of me drinking Baltika beer.Quote:

What type of visa were you doing? How ugly are you on your passport picture?
BUMMER DDT!!!
As KV asked, what flavor of visa did you apply for?
I am not sure that it made it to the actual "visa" part of the process. My passport (copy) was given to the Russian officials in Уфа, who rejected it there, in order to get an Invitation which I was then supposed to take to the Russian Embassy in San Francisco. I think it was for a 12 month multiple entry business visa but I am not sure because I did not see it. Anyway it was rejected before I had the Invitation. So in other words it did not make it even through the first step.
You must have forgotten to submit some forms... there's a green one with a picture of Ben Franklin on it... they need at least 5 copies in a plain white envelope.
They won't allow explosives on their planes? Try changing your nick.
Why are you writing in English about a problem that is of Russian origin? Do not look to Americans for help. Have you not read the American media opinions lately? The US and Russia are in a "new" Cold War! See you in hell "comrade". 8)
:lol: Politics isn't all :)Quote:

Scramble for a new sponsor that knows how to use the afformentioned "tribute". DO keep us up to date.
Were the officials in Уфа supposed to invite you to Russia? Are they you business partners?Quote:

is your passport valid for at least 6 months? was the copy a good one?
if you were going to be working for a firm you wont be on a business visa, that only allows you (in theory :twisted: ) to check out potential business opportunities. it does seem a bit strange you got rejected... maybe you should try the independant route through a company like realrussia.com
Vice versa! DDT - it is a name of most popular rock band in Ufa in the eighties.Quote:

Если первое, значит в документах техническая ошибка (например, неполные сведения, недействительный паспорт), нужно узнать какая и исправить.
Если второе, то странно. Приглашение не связано с разрешением на работу в России? Может быть, у приглашающей фирмы нет разрешения на привлечение иностранных работников.
На всякий случай, вот ссылка на закон.
I am not sure which of my passports was used but if she took my New Zealand passport into Ufa maybe they didn't like the fact that a New Zealand passport was issued to an Australian out of the Washington DC offices. Who knows!Quote:

This is getting better by the day. Keep us all up to date ! I'm on your side!
(Thanks gang for the DDT explanation, I didn't want to look like a know-it-all)
Кажется, что это было отказано в выдаче приглашения после рассмотрения документов.Quote:

Кстати, спасибо за помощь.
"she" is the director of the firm. Anyway I am sending another set of documents to someone else. I just have to pick which passport to to use. Anyone have any suggestions which would be easier to travel on in Russia? Here are the choices; USA, Australian or New Zealand.Quote:

That would cause the invitation to be declined at that stage.
You must've looked too suspicious. Did you have your "007" hat on?Quote:

Скорее всего, они очень повеселились! Но это очень ЗЛАЯ шутка и ты должна возбудить против них УГОЛОВНОЕ дело. Особенно если у тебя гражданство великой Южно-тихоокеанской федерации Аотеароа. Это просто НЕДОПУСТИМО! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :oops: :oops: :P :| :?: :?: :x :o
Да, это правда! Я гражданин Земли Длинной Белой Облака, мой отец, он виноват! Кстати товарищ, сколько пива у тебе выпил сегодня вечером?Quote:
