The local dwellers have to wait for up to four months rather that the legitimate thirty days to get their foreign passports done, Ordzhonikidzevskiy district’s division of the Federal Migration Service Administration in Sverdlovsk Region said to an UrBC reporter.

Apparently, it did not help that Sverdlovsk Region’s public prosecution authorities grew alarmed as early as July 2008 and claimed the regional division of the Federal Migration Service kept violating the citizens’ right to a foreign passport. The prosecution authorities then insisted on eliminating the offense and prosecuting the people responsible for the problem within a month’s time.
