Depends on if you are a dick or not. He WAS trying to follow the proper procedure but he was led astray by people he was supposed to be able to count on.
As for me...I will have empathy for Lowfunk....he was trying. The system here is so ridiculously inconsistent and dishonest I will give him credit for that.
I know the resident scumbags will be along shortly to rip on lowfunk and kick him while he is down. Reciting rules that are either out of date, out of context, or ignored randomly by the officials. But pissing on suffering people for kicks seems to be accepted here.
My empathy.. are we supposed to feel sorry for him?

Pffft it only ever approached that rate because of dishonesty in the Polish banking system...they got caught with their pants down last year when the world crisis occured and the PLN weakened after that. Nobody is watching now as they have a lot to do and again foolishness is occuring. It is an obvious attempt to gain parity with the Euro for the change over. It's all a game.
Poles are also running around raising prices claiming they are losing money and screaming crisis...yet the ZL is going up...it's always nonsense here.

Since he has never been inside the American embassy and heard what they have to say when you ask for direction on this issue he can't know much. I am amused at people who believe everything they see written down...I have an advertisement for a bridge on the moon for you to check out.

And predictably Hairy quotes and tries to refute me...but falls on his chubby little british chin. It's funny to watch who he defends...it depends on who is involved and who he hates more...it has nothing to do with reality. When will he learn he doesn't matter much and the truth is what it is and it doesn't matter what he and those like him claim here? I doubt soon ;)
I know that is how Poles are used to operating so I can see how steroid rage boy here would project that onto others...Poles LOVE to blame others and not take responsibility for the faults in their culture and systems. It's bizarre.
They are just bitter they can't bribe their way out of it anymore. They are not used to rules being consistent and sensible.

If you are going to require documents of someone you must make them available and follow your own rules. It's like telling someone you can only stay if you have something that MAY or MAY NOT be in a box on the other side of a minefield. The person can suffer the way to the other side and still find the box empty even though they did everything by the "rules". Then you hear stupid things from people here like "threaten them with a stack of the printed out law" or "get a lawyer". The problem with the Polish system is they are not honest and consistent.
Lowfunk did not come here with the intent to work without a permit. In fact he did everything reasonable to try and get the permit. He is unable to go GRAB one from the office. He needs the cooperation of a few different people and they refused to cooperate. But as usual the Poles and their fans blame others. We all know Poles are perfect and never wrong...and rules are for everyone else.
Certain members of this forum have no doubt sent several people into the process expecting for it to go by a logical path....it does not and it is an injustice to lie to people and have them expect it will

The Polish 'law' works when it benefits someone to have it work. It is great press to deport an American...there was even an article about it. Makes Poland feel mighty and powerful.
Lowfunk was also scammed by dishonest Poles in the school. It shows this deep cultural flaws that have ingrained cheating and ignoring these "rules" It shows the character of people here in this forum that they are attacking lowfunk and not the Poles who cheated him.
It doesnt matter what the rules say when people dont enforce them fairly on consistently...they only do when it somehow profits or benefits them. Even the civil court system is a big 'business'. Money changing hands and egos pushing back and forth.
If only Hairy would just stop embarrassing himself...its becoming pitiful.

Poles love to create fear where there is no danger and clutter when there should be clarity. There is probably an entire department who's job it is to write code for the "password number 2" section. This department likely consists of 9 "managers" and one secretary who answers the work phone when she feels like bothering and sends SMS and files her nails the rest of the time.
i would prefer to have a bank who is not mentally sick scares about being raped by some silly people!

I will accept that as a fact...but not the main reason. People KNOW when they are cutting corners or cheating. It is not something a lot of Poles are ashamed of doing. Rather than taking the time to do it correctly they smash it together or paint over it. They don't seem to be embarrassed when their work doesn't hold up. Customers don't do much about it either...just yell a bit then go back to their dinner. It is kind of like comparing German quality to Chinese. Everyone knows the cultural standard of quality is much higher with German goods...the Chinese make crap and are not ashamed. I find Poles quite similar (in general...meaning it is a cultural issue)....they have no pride in quality. They get paid the same either way so they'd rather finish up and get home than build well.

Codes mean nothing when the standard is so low. You sound like Harry citing immigration law when the reality is different. Quality is substandard in Polish design and construction...this is tangible in the structures. Even "expensive" flats are crap in quality. It's a cultural standard that is accepted and not corrected...there is no pride in doing it correctly.
No, it would not. 95% of design is about technical requirements and 5% about artsy stuff. So you need to know local building codes well.

Lowfunk...there are those of us who think you got a raw deal and actually listened to the actual details of your deportation. Don't pay any mind to the comments of the slimey brit who loves to **** on people's situations...he can't pay attention to anything beyond his own ego. He is the type who screams about rules and laws but will be the first to circumvent them when it benefits him or to whine when they don't work like he claims. Some people like him just love to smirk at others misfortune. Just remember not everyone is like that.
I hope you can keep things in good shape with your relationship.
Regarding legal issues your time would be better spent trying to ensure the school is punished for scamming you and the system. Make a lot of noise about it and embarrass them...they need a good reputation to get business...the fact is they misled you in order to avoid the work and cost of helping you properly. They took advantage of the fact that YOU would get booted and they would get a slap on the wrist...this is all too common here. Hammer them with bad publicity.
