Law / Temporary Residence Permit for American in Poland; validity date, leaving after expiration / during process [7]
@Einstein
Here are the answers to your questions-
1. Probably you will get the the TRP for 3 months only. My first one was granted exactly how many days as the files I submitted.
2. I don't think it matters any more when you wait for your temporary residence permit. After you get your permit, you use it to travel in Europe. No one would count any days any more. If your TRP request is denied, its best you do not enter any other Schenggen countries.
3. Highly suggest that you don't leave Poland while waiting for the result. With so many various issues going on, you never know if the Polish border guard will let you in after spending 1 day or 2 in Ukraine. Even though people kept talking about the bilateral treaty between the US and Poland, which is supposed to allow American citizens come and go as you follow the 90 days rule. I guess the Polish customs probably have the dates of your entry in their computer besides the stamps on the passport pages, like CBP folks do. If not, haha, great! I havent experienced the Polish Ukrainie border crossing, but heard from those who have don e that saying it is super time consuming, and risky if you do not speak Polish or Russian.
