Visa, Part II

It is not what you know, but who you know. If this is true anywhere, it is doubly true in Russia.

Our secretary called the governor’s wife, a friend of ours, to see if she could do anything for us.

Her advice: Go to the office and cry. If they don’t help us, she will get the governor involved.

So we are waiting for next week, when the right people will be in the office. At the very least, we hope to get an extension, which will take us to the middle of Pesach.
