Ok, so here's my story. My husband lives in Moscow and we are awaiting his visa to come to the US with me, and this might take a while. So I need to live with him in Moscow for as long as possible. Anybody have any advice on me getting there and staying as long as I can?

Check with a Russian embassy regarding length of stay.

Do an online search for airlines that fly into Russia.

For you this will be a very easy process. Your Husband needs to send you a invitation as his lawful wife and the Russian Consulate will allow you a long stay visa for 180 days which can be easily extended inside Russia at any УФМС office (like your Department of Homeland Security). Just remember that an Official invitation can take up to a month to obtain. After that, it will be walk in the park for you. Please remember that the Russian Consulate ONLY works with ORIGINAL invitations and not copies of any kind. I wish you success with your endeavor!
