Hi:
I'm a Cuban citizen son of Russian mother, my mother past away 14 years ago and I'm wondering if there is any chance or way that my family in Russia who live in Volkhov on Leningradsky Oblast can invite me in order for me to go to live there for a couple years and have a chance to meet with the 50% of my roots, I'm a Cuban that feels 50% Cuban and 50% Russian, I'm in love with that country, culture and all. So if anyone knows how to do it or knows a chance for me to go there that will be very appreciated. I visited Russia in January, 2016 and met with my cousins who told me to find ot the way to go an live there with them for a while in order to meet them and to give them a chance to meet me. I'm a professional software developer so there is no need to establish a work contract because I have my own businesses that give me enough money to sustain myself there. Hope to get any answers.

Write down all the personal data you will need this information when you make the invitation. In addition to basic information specified in the copy of his passport, write down the details of your work, such as: name, mailing address and office phone / fax of the company, born of its activities, position and responsibilities of the invitee. It is also necessary to clarify,
how long you are going to stay in Russia, which plans to visit the city, and in what Consulate he will receive a visa. send mail to the Russian relatives or travel agency.
2
Fill out the questionnaire in OVIR (passport control department at the place of residence of relatives in Russia). Then just have to wait, design invitations - it's not fast.
Sometimes waiting for the weeks, or even months. Remember that your own invite a foreigner can only be the case if he is going to come with a personal visit. For all other purposes of the invitation procedure is different. If you want to speed up the receipt of the invitation, it is better to use the following method.
3
Apply for a business or tourist invitation. The invitation of this kind can not be made out on behalf of a private individual. We need to find an accredited organization that submits an application to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Registration of such invitations are engaged in many of the major travel companies. In this case, the invitation will be received quickly, but costs will be higher
