The good thing is I have done this so many times I'm very sanguine about the whole thing, the only thing that sucks is that I'm bleeding money. BUT: EU citizenship!
I got an appointment with the Croatian consulate…. but it’s after my criminal background checks expire… so I have to do them for the third (US) and fourth (Israel) times 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
If you're wondering why I did the Israeli criminal background checks four times and the American ones only three: the first Israeli one my name was spelled wrong in English owing to a fuck up with the Israeli national database
