MOSCOW, June 4 (Xinhua) -- Fugitive1 U.S. intelligence whistleblower Edward Snowden could extend his refugee status in Russia, his lawyer said Wednesday.
"Everything is fine, we are
dealing2 with issues to extend the status, so everything is ok," Interfax news agency quoted Anatoly Kucherena as saying.
The attorney said Snowden was homesick, but did not say whether or not the former U.S. National Security Agency
contractor3 had pled for the extension formally.
Vladimir Volokh, head of the Public Council of Russia's Federal
Migration4 Service (FMS), said Monday Snowden had to make a written request for the extension, adding "no additional documents are filed if the circumstances have not changed."
On Tuesday, FMS head Konstantin Romodanovsky said the potential extension of political
asylum5 for Snowden was a pure matter of the organization's Moscow bureau, not of the headquarters.
In an interview aired by a Brazilian TV station on Sunday evening, Snowden said he had requested asylum from Brazilian government, and he would be happy to live in Brazil if the government approves his request.
Meanwhile, the Brazilian Foreign
Ministry6 denied Monday that Snowden had formally requested for asylum.
Snowden faces three felonies charges in the United States after he unveiled the country's highly classified intelligence project codenamed PRISM. He fled to Russia in June, 2013, only to find his passport
revoked7 by Washington and was reportedly trapped in a Moscow airport's
transit8 area for over a month before receiving a one-year asylum.
