We heard all kinds of stories, the last news we heard just last week was that all applicants were to go for interview.

My M.I.L. told us she was nervous because she recieved a phone call from the embassy telling her to stay home in the afternoon and they will courier her passport, not telling anything about the visa.

She was very suprised to have the visa, it took less than 2 weeks after she submitted her papers to the Moscow E.L.F. office.
