Students from Russia who are studying or want to study in American universities, will receive priority in obtaining a visa to the United States, said the head of the consular section of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow Lawrence Toby. According to the diplomat, the decision was accepted in connection with the fact that students need to get to the beginning of the school year, so the Embassy will do their paperwork faster than the treatment of other Russian citizens.
