I'm legal again

Nearly four months after returning from my last trip to the US, I finally received a student visa today, and am no longer illegally in Israel. I was a just slightly afraid that they'd notice the stamp from the airport, realize that I'd overstayed my visa, and call the police and deport me. Most likely, it was the 300-shekel bribe processing fee that saved me.

By the way, all this happened in the coolest building in Haifa.
