So I drove all the way to the Jordanian embassy in AD, only to find out that I need to register my marriage and family first, so I went with my husband to the court house to stamp the marriage contract since it was issued in the UAE, the building was fascinating! People were standing in the front just to help you know the steps you need to do and where to do them, so this guy told us exactly what to do and where to do it and made our lives really easier, took us around five minutes to get the copy of the marriage contract stamped.
Next step was to stamp it from the ministry of foreign affairs of the UAE, someone told us that there's a company called: infinity services located in Marina Mall that has a branch there specialized in such purposes, so we headed there, took a number, and also within less than 5 minutes everything was done! All what was left is going back to the embassy to finalize stuff.
When we reached there we discovered that we had a lot of missing documents and information we weren't informed of before from a guy who literally was mad at us for a reason only god knows! So we went back home to get those papers and info, take pictures, make some calls to gather information, and hoped that the next day everything will be ok.
So I went the next day to the embassy, holding each and every document that I could possibly have, hoping for them not to ask for my high school certificate.
How did it go?! Will the good part was that I didn't need my high school certificate, the bad news was it would take over two months to get things done, with an empty wallet, and disappointed face, I asked the guy to give me my papers back, and I said: I can't wait that long, I'm going back to Jordan.
Isn't it sad to know that I can easily do stuff and finish papers within seconds at any local governmental or non governmental entity in this place where I would need to struggle to get things done from my own country's embassy?!
