We got the assorted paperwork together and I went back to HaPoalim today in PT to get the Teudat Zakaut.
She then asked me for my marriage license, not one of the things she had listed last week. Fortunately, S was home so he scanned and e-mailed in our Israeli marriage ishur - since we got married in the US.
We were going through the paperwork, and at some point she asked me if I had received any "social assistance". I asked her what she meant and she said help with rent, etc. I told her I had received an absorption package from Misrad Haklita when I made Aliyah.
She turned to a coworker to ask if this was considered social assistance.
I then asked her - and she confirmed - I was the first Olah she had dealt with for a mortgage. Ever. Petach Tikva is a very large city in the middle of the country. Go figure.
She then looked at the ishur that S had sent over - and didn't understand what it was. I explained to her that that was what you get when you get married overseas.
She sent in the paperwork.
I'm half expecting to get a panicked call next week saying that they need my fingerprints or something, but we'll see.
