Do I have to mail our passports to the US to get our Russian tourist visa or can I go to a Russian Consulate? We do not want to be without our passports while out of the country. I am hoping if I have all the required documentation I can go into a Russian Consulate and obtain the visa. I would still use the services of this site to obtain the correct paperwork. Besides the invitation, can I use your visa application form?

At least it was like this in 2007. Maybe call them to make sure.
