Law / Polish Citizenship for a foreigner whose parents was born in Poland [174]
I've been looking through this Forum and it seems that you would be the person who would probably be able to help me the most. I live near LA and I have to go to the Polish consulate, I know. However since I can't take a day off from work at the moment, I was hoping you might be able to help me.
I wanted to know, what type of proof they ask for when you have to prove ancestral relative link to someone of full Polish decent? My grandmother's mother was born here however her parents weren't. So it would have been my great great grandmother that was born in Poland. Do I have to gain access to her birth certificate and then my great grandmother's and then my grandmother's and then my mothers?
I know you said this endeavor would be very expensive, where do most of the costs come from? Can you help me with any pointers?
Thank you!
I am an American citizen, born in America, but my mother is still a Polish citizen and my father is an american citizen
