First of all not to deal with any agency in nigeria, which will start givin U option to do commercial visa for you ( its will looks like some company invitin U in Russia to work), and if that agency tellin U that wit this, 4 example, 6 month U will move out from Russia its a lie!!! if only u are ready to take risk to go out not legal (and eat ur nigerian passport on de way) , what will give more problem like prison! when u will come to russia nobody will wait for u, and the problem that nobody will do original registration! which is importent to stay 100% legal and start to prepair to move to another country, without that to get visa and move out from Russia not possible. I pity that guys with hope, have spent money and nothing in the end. i met two gays like 2-3 days ago in this situation, they are askin help and i don't know how!

Sounds like a very risky venture, to settle in Russia, with the hope of moving out later!

@Siena - reading through the other thread you referenced.
***************************** Пожалуйста, очень осторожно, очень общие для африканских мужчин жениться белых женщин, только чтобы получить иммиграционные документы. {meaning, please be careful about all African men because they only marry white women for immigration status} reeks of generalisation and an insurmountable level of ignorance, do you think that Russia is Britain or America, even at that your statement does not apply to everyone.
Did you really write that about all African men. (My emphasis on All). If you did i'll say quite unfortunate - very much unlike you. Does one bad apple spoil the whole bunch?
If tables were turned and you took a look in the mirror, would the same apply. (Referring to your profile picture you had some time ago of you and your white girlfriend - remember when someone asked naively if she was your mum?).
Generalisation like this are unfortunate and i'm sure the world would be a better place without this stereotyping. However if that wasn't what you wrote - or what it meant - then no issues really.

@poster
I think a lot people don't understand that migrating from Russia to Western Europe is no less difficult than migrating from Nigeria.
If I had to make that choice, I'll prefer to stay in Nigeria than going to Russia. I have quite a few of mixed Nigerian-Russian friends that travels once in a while to Russia and none of them really wants to relocate there and would prefer slugging it out in Nigeria.

Yes, generalization can be unfortunate, but sometimes, it's best to prepare one for the worse case scenario. That way, if it all goes horribly wrong, one isn't too dissappointed. If it works out, then it's a bonus and a blessing. I can't speak or understand Russian, an online translator can often make a statement appear different from the intended, as some English words have no direct translation into other languages. Reading that, that was certainly not what I intended to portray! My statement wasn't intended to offend.

@Siena.
I guessed as much that it might not be what you intended (another downside of online translators, especially when their output are quoted verbatim in a public domain). We need not flog this issue any longer.
On generalisation, i seem to have developed a thick skin to worst-case scenarios and i'm not much moved by then. However it's always a tough (albeit not impossible) one to swallow when coming from seemingly reasonable fellows. Remember the alleged Oprah Winfrey one about all Nigerians? That's a story for another day.

The Oprah episode, I missed. But, I did hear from those who watched the show, her "assumptions".
