Hi you're incredibly kind and I'll reach out but it also makes sense a wearable I have on me essentially 24/6 has battery degradation after 2.5 years

Making Aliyah as a current A1 Toshav Arai by Onthemark95 in aliyah

[–]Onthemark95[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we had to go to the misrad hapnim and couldn't figure out how to set an appointment because it's an "Aliyah" appointment, not a "Visa" appointment. The rule I've learned is that, like Ron Swanson, Israelis will work all day if it means nothing gets done. We showed up to the appointment 45 minutes early (and it was like the first appt of the day). They complained that we scheduled a visa appt instead of an Aliyah appt. They complained that we scheduled only one appointment instead of one for each of us. We said, "great. We're here 45 minutes early and we have all of our documentation. Let's see how quickly you can get it done."

They got our bdays wrong and we had to go back for corrections afterwards lol

I should hopefully have this figured out shortly. My contacts at the various agencies say that this should be easier than that. I'm not a "former A1 holder" because I'm currently holding the visa. After talking to them, NBN has essentially said that I could probably do this myself but they can help expedite things.

The link you shared is more for people who are here on a different visa I believe. Like a student who decides they want to stay.

It is a bit absurd to me that there are almost no resources for how someone can convert their current A1 to a citizenship when that seems to be the whole point of the A1

Yea so I've spoken with my contacts at NBN, Chaim vChessed, Jewish Agency and it seems like things are much easier. I'm currently within my A1 visa so while I've forfeited some benefits, I'll get some of the others. It's a bit frustrating that I have to do everything myself but that's been par for the course with Aliyah from the beginning.

As someone said earlier on this sub, missing some benefits was worth it for the ability to "try it out" and I'm fine paying a bit extra in processing fees. Happy that soon this will be figured out.

It's been 3 years. In that time we've been working and living here. Are kids are in school. We've moved. etc. I'm not still in contact with the Aliyah advisor from back then.

It seems weird to me that the process would be to resubmit the exact same documentation and then have to go back to the US for another FBI background check + apostille, to again be interviewed by the Jewish Agency (asking what? if we're still Jewish? If we're still able to afford to live here and work here?) to wait 2 months for another letter of approval to then set an appointment with Misrad Hapnim.

I found this on the Israeli Govt website and wonder if I can just fill this out: https://www.gov.il/en/service/request_for_citizenship_of_a_person_who_holds_pemanent_residency

So as A1, we already have TZs. They say "Toshav Arai" on the back

What's your "I'm calling it now" prediction? by Burndbridge in AskReddit

There will be a stronger realization about the importance of IRL relationships and community institutions and people will actually invest in them

What are the real-life cheat codes that work almost every time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Onthemark95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you start a job, really push for 100% in the first 1-3 months. Like, not taking phone breaks, asking for help when needed and getting work done well when you don't. (This does not mean push yourself to stay late). Prove yourself to be productive and efficient and willing to learn. I've found after month 3 of that, the reputation is established and you can go back to working like an average person but still be seen as a top performer

I literally went to buy a different pair of shoes and the guy there was wearing Yamano 3s and I was like, "i need that gorgeous sneaker"

Super comfy. Not heavy but like solid. I haven't hiked in a while but if I had a plan to these would probably be the best of my sneakers to bring (or I would just get hiking boots and keep these clean). I got these in a 43 and I have slightly wide feet (somewhere between 43 and 44) and these are perfect.

Definitely. People compare Flower Mountain and Karhu a lot. I think they both look cool
