My son’s and my joys of taking the Russian test for school ))

We moved in the summer, and I immediately sent his ninth-grade certificate for nostrification. We found a school that agreed to take my son into tenth grade. We sent a set of documents to the school, and the school sent them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The documents were checked for two months, then sent back to the school with a positive decision, and the school registered my son for the test. We came for the test—and they said there wouldn’t be a test because we didn’t have nostrification. I said we did have nostrification; it simply wasn’t ready when we submitted the documents, since it takes more than two days. Bring us the nostrification, they said, and we’ll register you for the next test, a month from now.

In general, the situation with being denied admission to the test didn’t throw me off track simply because, just before the test, the Ministry of Internal Affairs called and said that my son’s citizenship had been approved.

It’s easier for a child of a compatriot to obtain citizenship than to get into the Russian test and then go to school )) The documents for both school and citizenship were submitted at the same time))

There are so many details and nuances that I advise everyone to make a chart or calendar of what needs to be done and when, both before moving and after arriving.
