Agreed. Just curious where you live, I assume tri-state area? For me, living here in Cleveland presents a little more of a challenge because renouncing will mean a trip to NY and probably more than 1 trip, with the whole family.
Indeed. I live in Brooklyn, and it's just a subway ride to get there. Talk to
@Dan about that or post in the pros and cons of where you live thread. Officially minors do not need to be present for the first step which is registering them as Israeli citizens. You might want to make sure that your appointment is booked for the proper service - which would be registering children as citizens.
I guess your best bet is to come as prepared as possible, and be mentally ready to have to go more than once. Yet along with that don't take any of their bureaucracy without objection. They find it easy to say come again. I challenged them on two of their requests and they relented.
OTOH it's important to come well prepared. At my last visit there I met cousins who came from Philadelphia, and didn't know that they needed an Apostille on the birth certificate (and proof of birth - such as hospital discharge papers). Needless to say they weren't able to get off first base because they didn't have the necessary documents.
