Information on whether in July 1994 the Russian Migration Service (FMS) operated out of Omsk, and if so, location and description of the centre including proximity to the railway station and whether there was a police station in the centre [RUS25080.E]

The following information was provided during a 22 October 1996 telephone interview with a representative of the Migration Service of the Omsk Oblast in Omsk.

The representative stated that in July 1994 the Russian Migration Service (FMS) operated out of Moscow and continues to operate out of Moscow at present. The Migration Service of the Omsk Oblast has been operating out of the city of Omsk since 1993. According to the representative, the Migration Service of the Omsk Oblast office, which issues documents and forms such as certificates confirming refugee status, is located in the centre of the city, at 20 Krasnji Put [Red Way]. The representative stated that the railway station is "not too far away." In July 1994 a police station was not located in the building which housed the Migration Service of the Omsk Oblast office, nor is one located in the building today. The representative added that police stations are located in every raion in the city, thus, a police station is situated not far from 20 Krasnji Put.

This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
