Life /
I am in Poland on a tourist visa and have been here for 2 years.. [53]
I have never left. My mom is sick and I am afraid to leave because I am afraid I will get arrested at the border. This Schengen things really stinks.
I have a flat and my life is invested in Poland. What do I do now? What will happen to me if I try to leave?
1.)you should go to american embassy and discuss the issue with them..
Then there would be a probability that you will get a chance to move out of Poland but then may be you wont be allowed to enter Poland for some period (say for 10 years)
And yes if you decide to goto american embassy for help then try to explain a genuine reason why you stayed here illegally may be like you lost/got stolen your passport,etc....
2.)Else to avoid such situation you may call your mother here in Poland.
3.)May be you can consult a Polish immigration Lawyer..this would be a best solution.
4.)Else you can go to America back through Czech Republic because American citizens dont need any visa to stay in Czech for 3 months..
That was what views I could suggest you...
And yes try to make your status legal at the earliest because in Poland till now the condition is not that strict like in Czech Republic the governemnt is having Foreign police which keeps an eye on the foreigners especially the american english teachers staying in Czech...
