It so happened that my friend from abroad decided to visit our vast country, and put on my mission to arrange for him a visitor's invitation. I enthusiastically agreed, not knowing what awaits me.
As a person who has a five-day workweek and not very loyal boss, I have decided to allocate for this purpose a couple of Saturdays. Just something and you want to hear the list of documents so collect them. The Internet completely lists for registration of business invitations, but for private, I did not find anything (or bad looking?). I had to go and learn on the spot. "
So, the first Saturday I got to the local OVIR. Without waiting in line, ignoring the outraged citizens, I peeked into his office and asked where you can find the list of documents for an invitation, to which I sent to another floor, where the stand was posted a list:
1. Photocopy of passport of the applicant.
2. Income statement of the applicant or a certificate of the nth sum in the account (savings book is also nice).
3. Registration card of the applicant.
4. Registration card inviting person.
5. Statement by the inviting party to design the invitation.
6. Statement is a guarantee of the inviting party.
7. Photocopy of passport of the inviting party.
8. Receipt of payment of state duty.
There were no sample completed application and account cards. Again I went to the coveted office, ignoring queuing revolt of modern youth elderly old ladies to take the necessary forms. Employees OVIR they told me that the forms are available at any nearby newspaper kiosk. Bypassing all kiosks in the district and did not find desirable, I still broke through the angry crowd that stood in the queue.
I will not say that I had to listen to his address, for reasons of censorship. Employees OVIR obviously delighted my third visit and with the participation were asked to determine whether to find a package of documents. Here I am, of course, begged for assistance, and goodness of his heart, they suggested to me the address of one office where I can help. I was ready for everything and pay in the office of a certain amount of money for filling out applications and account cards (just like forms were not given). Keep in mind that for the application you need information on the location of the invited person and passport data. Then I stood foremost in the bank to pay the legal costs, and secondarily, to open his account. This was the first Saturday.
Second Saturday was not very productive: I met her in the office transfer to transfer my friend's passport, as well as the notary to assure the transfer (of course, paid services). Blame the ubiquitous queues. In addition, Visa and Registration Department is closed on Saturdays only until lunchtime. Finally, a third Saturday - the local branch of the planned output, fell to the fourth Saturday of May holidays.
The long-awaited fifth Saturday ... Inspired by a premonition of imminent success and packet of documents I have arrived at the visa department long before the reception and, as a decent man, has taken place. Just a couple of hours with a winning smile on his face, I settled down in front of charismatic colonel. To my disappointment, he found a lot of gaps in my documents.
Applying for an invitation must be certified by my place of work (and where the privacy is? "), In a statement, warranty did not need to put a date, the bank account too little money (though I put on the account of an amount twice as much of the that required in the instructions, but as my friend from a country with an increased risk of migration, and money in the account should be even twice as much). Despite the promise to fill your bank account required amount, I was still asked to provide information on incomes from work (well, why should I declare all the work, who, when and why to me is going?). But nothing helped.
On the sixth Saturday, I was already more than confident. Again defended the queue and filing documents, I heard the verdict. Printing companies should stand akkurat at the mention of my recent field work, and painting my boss must be accompanied by a full interpretation of his position, organization name and full name.
In the seventh Saturday OVIR was on the weekend. In the eighth I again got a nasty surprise: it turns out, signs the application is possible only in the presence of a OVIR, that he is satisfied that the signature is really mine. But whether my colonel was in a good mood that day, whether my smile struck him on the spot, but it took all my documents.
