[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a sister, married to a Russian citizen, with a Russian daughter, who has been living in Moscow since 1993. She's long been employed by an US-based corporation that has announced it is suspending its operations in RU. She's lost access to most of her bank accounts and credit cards, and life is getting increasingly difficult for her.

I'd love to convince her to take her family to Europe or the US (we have EU citizenship as well as American), but she's stuck in place because she lives with her in-laws, who are Russian citizens and will not relocate. My family is in general freaking out, wondering when we'll be able to see her again, how safe she'll be, what she's doing to her professional reputation, etc., but on the other hand: it's her life, not ours.

What would you do in this situation? Back off and mind our own business, or continue to try to convince her to leave with her husband and child?

The question is whether her daughter has any other passports in addition to her Russian nationality. If she has no current EU or US passports, then sorry, she cannot leave. New visas aren’t being issued and American citizen services are no more. I would not leave without my child but you know your sister best. If her child has other passports, they can leave at any time. [/quote]
