Residency vs Citizenship

[Elena]

Hello,

I have a green card and can apply for citizenship in a couple of years. Right now I travel back and forth to Russia with my Russian passport and my green card without any problems. The question is, when I get an American passport, will I need a visa to go to Russia?

Thanks!

Nope. You will not get any problems You do not need any visa if you have Russian citizenship.

You will have to be invited to go back to Russia each time. I have to do that.
My wife who is still a Russian citizen has no problem traveling so far. We are planning to go to Russia in a few weeks and I had to get an invitation from a family member. Good luck! Dennis

You will need a visa if you use an American passport. My understanding, however, and I may be wrong is that the Russian Consulate will be happy to have you continue with your Russian citizenship. However, you should check with the US State Dept. if a dula use of passports is legal under American law. Good Luck, ALLAN SAMSON
