A person who finds himself abroad on a temporary visa may face a number of unpleasant things. For example, if you go to work in America in the summer, you must have time to leave the country before your visa runs out. Otherwise, under extremely unpleasant circumstances, you will be left in the country for a while and are unlikely to be allowed to re-enter. If you can't leave the country on time, you need to do the following.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all required documents. Get ready for a long and tedious job, since not everyone succeeds in making the renewal "smoothly". It is best if you always have a standard set of necessary papers for registration with you. Prepare personal data, two 3x4 photographs and a passport.
Step 2
Make sure your passport has not expired. One of the most common reasons for refusal to renew or renew a visa is an invalid passport. Your document must be valid for at least another six months, so that you do not find fault with either the embassy or anywhere else.
Step 3
Remember that if you want to extend your visa, you must be a permanent resident of the Russian Federation, have work experience in any industry for at least a year and be a "stable" cell of society - not have debts, convictions, problems with your family. Only then can you count on a successful renewal.
Step 4
Try to convince the embassy that you have good reasons not to return to Russia (even if you don't). The US authorities are not very fond of issuing and extending visas to Russians because of the "immigration sentiments" of Russians. Prove that you did not even think about staying in the States for more than your appointed time.
Step 5
Be prepared to be asked to provide a number of additional documents as well. This can be a certificate from work, a document on the availability of bonuses, a copy of a Russian passport, documents for property and a car, a certificate of marriage and birth of a child.
Step 6
Go for a follow-up interview at the embassy. Get ready to give reasons for your desire to extend your visa. There is no need to talk about such reasons as "I want to see the country again" or "I have not earned a lot of money." Come up with something more compelling.
