My husband was born in Eretz Yisoel,his parents are Americans.They lived in E”Y for the year he was born only.My children are considered Israeli citizens by the Israeli gov’t.My sons learning in E’Y claimed no knowledge of their fathers birth place on their student visas as recommended by their Roshei Yeshivos,they have come back to the states for Pesach and returned to E’y without problem.My daughter in Sem this year tried the same but her student visa was rejected.It seems that the Israeli gov’t is starting to crack down on this sort of thing and ran my husbands name thru some sort of data bank that came up with the fact that he was born in E’Y. My daughter now needs a Israeli passport and army exclusion if/when she wants to return to the states.
