Law / I am married to a Polish citizen. How can I get residency? [36]

I am married and have been since 1997. I lived in Poland many years. We decided to come to the United States to make money and then to return to Poland to buy an apartment and live there. My wife changed her mind and met another man. I refused to give her a divorce.

My whole life was wrapped into returning to Poland. I love Poland. Don't ask me why, but it is all I think about. Since our separation I was able to return to Poland, but only as a tourist. I never acquired permanent residency.

Without her I am severed from the only country in the world I have ever loved. I feel homeless. I don't care now if I am there with her or without her. I just want to be there. I want to work there doing anything. I want to live there the rest of my life.

Is there any hope that I can obtain residency based on this marriage or is it hopeless. I know she will not cooperate with me on this. I often think of just returning there and taking my chances. But if I overstay my visa I could be barred from Europe for many years. I couldn't stand it. I think I'd prefer to be dead.

Is there any hope of me ever living in Poland again?

Look freak. I asked a simple question so as to get advice. The circumstances I listed are accurate. If you don't want to help, why do you post? Visa scammer? That is ridiculous. But I admit that my circumstances are also ridiculous. I am a US citizen and can always return there. But I do not belong there anymore. Poland is where I belong. It is where I spent my best years. I want to return. Simple as that.

Thanks. The truth is that I was born in the USA. I went to Poland in 1995 on a scholarship at Jagiellonian University in Krakow. I lived there 6 years. I searched for professional jobs but no one would consider me, because as Midas here, they were all suspicious why an American would want to live in Poland. It is still the same situation. I think the business idea is best. I just dont get why anyone would think I was scamming. It doesnt make sense. I cant work in Poland. And residency in Poland doesnt get me residency in all of Europe. I just want to go, maybe teach English, and not have to worry about the 3 month rule. I shouldnt have to.

I get the law. And I get the intent behind it. Some people just don't get it. I love Poland. I know some people hate it, and many cannot understand. But I love Poland. I want to live there. I want to live in Poland. Simply. I know it is expensive now. I know flats cost tons. I guess I expended my youth there and I want to return to feel that again.

I think the business is the best idea. I am an American citizen without a criminal record. I am married to a Polish citizen. She has my citizenship. That's fine. The US is easier for that. I want to live in Poland no matter what. It's just my blood> I belong there. OK. It sounds like a scam, but it isn't. It is what I want. Some way, Im going to make it happen.

Lord. I swear. Im not an African. And even if I were. So what? I am as white as white gets. I'm a poor boy from the South. I remember what it was like to try to get my wife a green card at the embassy. Sir, you have to prove you have been living and working in the USA for 3 years earning a minimum of $30k per year. Otherwise, you have to get a sponsor. My family hadn't even met the woman. I couldn't get anyone to sponsor her. I asked the consulate, just how am I supposed to come to Poland and meet a woman want to marry but at the same time, having been in the USA for 3 years? Now that supports scams, not love. 3 years back and forth trying to raise the money to get her over here to the USA. It would have been better just to stay in Poland. Politics make me wretch.

Damn be the politics. Damn be the immigration officers. Damn be Hillary Clinton. And yes, I realize Poland has always been a close friend to the USA. And I realize as well that Poles are treated like crap when it comes to visas. It pisses me off when I read that the French, who hate us, or the Brits, who resent us, can come when they want, but Poland..ohhhhhh..noooooo...they have to apply. What a bunch of crap!!.

I lived in Krakow. I lived in Poznan. I lived in Warsaw. I lived in Pulawy., I used to visit Hel every summer. Now..with my current situation, I have to beg to even be able to live there. I understand how Poles feel. I get it. They can reverse the frustration because of Schengen and the EU. I had a vested life in Poland. I'm getting old. I want to live in Poland. That's all. I'll live in Division 303 and Nowa Huta again if have to. I don't care. I just want to live and die there!! DAMN!!!

If it's 15k I'm pissed off. I loved my wife. It destroyed our marriage to have to work toward the requirements.. Dear God. I loved her and Poland so much.

My life would have been so much better had I remained, I guess after some years I also bought into the American dream. What a bunch if BS.

You are funny. But what you say is true. Thing is, I feel that the past is all I have. OI am going to do the business thing that was recommended. I love Poland this time of year. See you there.
