The US Embassy in Moscow resumed issuing visas, which was suspended due to a reduction in the number of US diplomatic missions in Russia, according to RIA News with reference to the official representative of the State Department Heather Nauert.
“The visa issuance process resumed on September 1. We still don't have enough consular officers to do this work at our embassy, so we don't process visa applications that way,” Nauert said at the briefing.
Recall that, by words Head of the Consular Section of the US Embassy in Moscow, Lawrence Toby; Russian students studying in the United States receive priority in issuing American visas.
In addition, consular officers will try "as quickly as possible" to issue visas for a number of other categories of Russian citizens, Toby said. It is, for example, about diplomatic visas and official delegations, he specified.
Moscow previously prescribed cut US diplomatic missions in Russia on 755 people - up to 455 employees. Thus, Moscow equated the number of employees of the US Embassy in Russia to the number working in the Russian diplomatic mission in the United States. According to the Foreign Ministry, these measures were a response to the anti-Russian policy and the new anti-Russian sanctions adopted by the US Congress.
