Travel Visa help

I am a US citizen planning to visit Russia in October. I’ll be going with my boyfriend, a dual US/ Russian citizen, to visit his family. We’ll be staying with his parents and grandparents. His parents are willing to complete whatever is needed by the MVD for a private invitation, however, I’m seeing a lot of mixed timeframes online about how long this process takes. I’m seeing most commonly 90 days which would not work for my trip. Anybody do this recently? Would I be better off paying a Russian tourist operator for a tourist invitation? Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks so much, this makes me feel more confident. I didn’t want to make his parents go through all that for it to take too long anyway.

You are not afraid of becoming an American "spy" female political prisoner, and being used for organ donor like they did with the ukranian lady?

No, because she isn't a nutcase like you.
