Hi Sean, I used to have the same problem all the time when I lived in Russia.
I know how it's still a pain in the ass to ask your Russian friends to register you. I've used two different agencies to do registration of a business visa. Visa link were usually pretty good for registering business visas that weren't initiated by them: http://www.visalink-russia.com/ I also used Go to Russia when my visa was not a business visa, but a journalist visa initiated through the foreign ministry press office (which Visalink couldn't register) : http://www.gotorussia.com/about_us_directions.htm Both agencies were reliable in handling the registration, and the fees were 1400 rubles and 1800 rubles respectively when I did it. Could be more now, so check directly with them before you go. Hope this helps. Kirill. Regards, Kirill Galetski, Russian-English, German-English translator.
