UK, Ireland / Getting married to a Polish Citizen in the UK [371]
Re: Elulka
Hi there!
I am sure there must be a way your boyfirnd can get a visa to Poland. As long as I know, he should have a formal invitation - you get it in your local Immigration Ofiice (Urzad do Spraw Cudzoziemcow). There you declare that during your stay you take full responsibility for your visitor, you'll support him financially, he'll stay at your place ect. Such paper is given for 3 months the most. To be able to extend the stay, he has to apply for a temporary residence card (karta tymczasowego pobytu). To apply, he needs his birth certificate, proof of not owing any taxes in his home country, proof of no crime record and a place to stay here. The place to stay means owing a flat or house (I guess you don't) or if you live with your parents, they can declare he'll stay there. Same goes for money - if you don't work, your parents can declare they will support him for as long as he stays.
Meanwhile, the sooner you get married, the better. If you make it in the first three months, you have better chances for the card, plus the wedding is a good reason to come, isn't it?
Put on a big smile and go to your local registrar (USC) and find out exactly what papers you need. Go to Immograton office and explain what you're planning (just don't mention earlier problems - say this is what you planned from the start and they're there to help you). Have a sworn translator ready (tlumacz przysiegly) - looking for one will lose valuable time. If you get all the papers, you'll succeed.
Good luck, girl! :)
