Law / Polish Citizenship for a foreigner whose parents was born in Poland [174]

The trouble with applying in Poland is that she might have to deal with the "me-first" Polish bureaucracy. What the law says and what the bureaucrat says can be completely different. The bureaucrat may make outsize demands (e.g. renunciation of US citizenship, etc.) and/or seek a large bribe.

Ewa would be well advised to apply now through the Polish Consulate here in the US. While she waits, she can work here and save some money for her studies.
