mshteyn, I believe your father would be considered a college graduate. There are many parents who attended college outside of the US.
I don’t think it would really make a difference though. Perhaps you could incorporate your background into your essay, or make mention of your family’s immigration in the additional info box in the application. Do you still speak Russian? Are you learning a third language? The fact that you would add to the diversity of a college with your heritage overrides a the “first generation” thing.
