Making Aliyah! It is all in the timing (or not)

It is all in the timing (or not)

Well, I started the formal Aliyah process back at the end of Nov 2020 and everything went straight-forward until, well, they didn’t. This was more often than not due to one of two factors:

  • Learning that there was another form to fill out or document to get, or
  • simply not knowing what the next hurdle was going to be or when I would discover it.
  • Learning what the apostille process was all about.
  • Good video on getting started….
    go about 38 min in for beginning of document & apostille discussion…

For details on the steps, you can go the First Steps page. Regarding the hurdles, I will try to put together a Gantt waterfall chart to illustrate what aspects of the process can be worked on simultaneously and which are just a sit tight and wait by the phone to not ring span. See below. 🙂

When you start the process, I highly recommend talking with the Milwaukee Shaliach contact to establish a relationship and help you (stay calm) through the process.
