USA, Canada / Polish Citizen, US legal resident, but no Polish Passport... [67]

Either your friend had missing paperwork, or something odd. The normal wait time should not exceed around 6 months. Also the passport is sent certified mail. They wouldn't want lost passports floating around the US.

He had to retake his pictures, but he has been told it was delivered over two months ago and they gave him a tracking number for the package. When he calls with the tracking number, he is told the number doesn't exist. Yes, there is something going on; however, trying to get a straight answer has been impossible. He has decided to wait until he has US citizenship and just get a US passport, but it has been a frustrating process to try to help him through.

Good luck with this! My friend applied for his Polish passport from within the US over two years ago. The latest call to the Polish Consulate resulted in being told the passport had in fact been delivered to his address and if he didn't receive it, he needed to reapply!!!

I also have a green card that is valid until 2012, and will not be applying for US citizenship until then. I live in central FL, not at all close to Chicago, and would like to plan a trip to Europe for this summer.

The Polish Consulate travels to Tampa during the year. Call their office and someone can tell you when they will be there and you can apply (I hope you have better luck than my friend).

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

re you saying that Americans are lazy?

I certainly wouldn't say Americans as a whole are lazy. I own my own business and still work two side jobs to make sure I stay ahead. I decided to not take the route of business loans and instead I am funding the business by working myself like crazy. I will admit I picked up this work ethic from my friend Greg who is Polish. I have watched him work hard and seen him get ahead by working himself to death and making personal sacrifices to earn extra money. I think he respects me for my work ethic and know he would never consider me lazy...

Food / Mother of all hangovers....Polish Beer! [71]

Can't get Polish beer or most Polish vodka here in Georgia. I used to drink it all the time in Orlando and Chicago, but Georgia doesn't import it and cannot have it shipped here from a distributor... Alas, time for a road trip!
