I've been back and forth reading this site for the past couple years, but this is the 1st time I've ever actually posted something. Anyways, I applied for visa support online and they sent me an invitation through email. The invite is for a 1 month tourist visa (I'm visiting my boyfriend). This is the site I got it from: http://www.russia-visa.com/ . My question is: Has anyone ever had any experience with getting an invitation through them, or at least a company similar to it? What are the possibilities that the embassy will grant me a visa based on this type of letter of support? (I've been to Russia 3 times in the past 2 years, no criminal record, and live in D.C. and am not a man ). I guess I'm just a little worried that it's not "official" enough or something---in the past all my invitations have been directly sent from Russia by a specific program, school, etc. and took a long time. I guess I'm nervous due to how simple and easy and fast they were able to get the invitation to me. Plus, I don't want to get rejected based on a support letter that is lacking since I have a time constraint and can't wait another [insert number] months before I being able to apply again. Plus, money is also a factor... So basically, someone tell me your experiences (bad/good) with this and any ideas, info, whatver you have on this topic. Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance. ))))))[/i]

You can write your own cover letter too...just state where you are going...and when...and for how long...and your purpose is tourism. Pretty simple and you'll be fine

I've never dealt with a *gasp* simple tourist visa----I've always had to go to Russia for a much longer time (like a year) and that was a pain in the ass. Perhaps I'm just traumatized.
