So my darling wife's mother is Israeli by birth. Which means my darling wife is Israeli too. However, she is also French, due to her being born there and all.
To make aliyah, she needs an Israeli passport.
However, she needs to give them her original documentation, which is French.
Due to that, she needs an "apostille" on all her French documents.
To get it, it has to be done in France.
Of course, being done in France, the apostille will be in French.
The consulate here in the United States doe not read French.
So the French apostille will need to be notarized in English, here, in the States.
How's that for backwards?
Of course, there is also the complication of French bureaucracy, in which that apostille can only be granted in the city she was born in. Which, needless to say, is nowhere near where we live. Nor where any of her relatives still in France reside.
