My Aliyah diary
- 14 JUN 2006 - Sent in completed forms and check to the Sochnut
- 10 JUL 2006 - Shelichah from the Sochnut speaks to me (phone interview). She informs me that since I have Israeli citizenship, my daughters are Israeli citizens - so I need to contact the consulate and get identity numbers for my daughters, before the "tik" can continue processing.
- 10 JUL 2006 - Contact the consulate via email, they let me know what forms to fill out. I fill them out and start the process...
- 05 SEP 2006 - Attempt to contact consulate and find out why I don't yet have any documents from them.
- 09 NOV 2006 - Shelichah informs me she will open my "tik" even though I haven't yet got the numbers she needs; she asks for several documents, which I send her via email.
- 13 DEC 2006 - Finally receive the documents from the consulate. Note that it took five months!
- 14 DEC 2006 - Inform Shelichah about the numbers, and she tells me she will start processing our "tik"
- 18 DEC 2006 - Ask Shelichah what our status is (no answer).
- 20 DEC 2006 - Our check to the Sochnut was cashed
- 08 JAN 2007 - Shelichah asks what we were able to settle with the consulate (note I already informed her three weeks ago).
- 16 JAN 2007 - Shelichah informs me she does not have all the documents I sent in November. Why she waited until now to inform me is unclear. I send all 34 pages via fax, and confirm she received them.
- 18 JAN 2007 - Shelichah informs me she needs yet other documents (which I don't have). In this case, she needs my birth certificate (with apostille) and that of my wife (from Argentina), as well. In addition, the "travel log" was not filled out correctly and I need to redo it. Why it took until now to tell me that, when we submitted the travel log in June, is again a mystery.
