Love / American woman falls in love with a charming Polish man upon his visit to the U.S. [36]

Sojourn


I don't believe this is a strictly Polish trait. You met a man on a hiking trip and then dreamt about starting a new life life with him? In another country? Was the connection reeeeally strong enough to justify emailing him for four months without a reply?? This all sounds a little crazy...

Life / Blood donation in Poland [21]

I was interested in donating blood in Wroclaw and was unable to. The facility said that unless I was able to speak and read polish I could not file out the necessary forms or speak with the nurse. They would not allow translation and did not have english versions : /

Law / Visa Stamp if you overstay (American with a Polish Wife) [29]

I just wanted to update that I am in a similar situation. I am still waiting on a work permit from an employer that is dragging his feet and my 90 day tourist expires very soon. I went to office in Wroclaw yesterday to find out my options and they said that for US citizens all I need to do is leave Poland (to any other country) for 1 day, save my receipts, and come back. It seems like risky business to me, but they said its not a problem as long as I have a receipt with my name on it.

It does not sound right to me either, but I have no realistic choice at this point. Time has run out and I am waiting on a work permit.

I went there hoping they could file an extension of some kind, but this was their only brilliant plan. I talked to consulates in DC and Warsaw and both said to contact the UW office in my city. UW gave me an application for residency and said to save my receipts.

To my understanding, the only thing I could possibly do to avoid becoming "illegal" by Polish law is to leave for three months before the 90 days runs out and then return and start over.

Good information, thanks.
