Sami if you think the UK was strict, you have no chance with Poland. The UK takes people in by the bucketload, while Poland is generally against almost any immigration, unless from Eastern Europe. Haven't you followed the news? Poland is one of the few countries in Europe refusing to take in non-European immigrants.

I did not know
Because when I applied for first time in UK for residence card I was on my visa still 3 years but uk refused and detain my passport so we got stuck, without ID everything got stuck so keep applying but they keep refusing without checking new document just copy past always same desicion so 1 polish laywer told us we can apply in voivoda because I already have polish marriage certificate, so we just want know that is it true or what proccess, lawyer is in UK she told that even do not have visa but still voivoda can accept it

I do not see any problem to apply as long as you have a marriage certificate and a valid passport.

How you got Polish marriage certificate in U.K? Fisrt register your marriage at Polish goverment office then get Polish marriage certificate. Remember no body can deport you if you have Polish marriage certificate.

I called to voivoda
They told me that I can't apply for because my entry and status are not lawfully in Poland

dolnoslask 5 | 2807

But you are married to a polish woman is that correct ?

OP Sami143 1 | 28

3 Feb 2018 / #23

Yes I told them that I married since 4 years now
But voivoda women said that even you married 20 years but your entry and status not lawfully
You will not get card
You have to apply for visa from your country then you can apply after come on legal visa base

Ok there is the trick, find any mainland country in Europe and just get a holiday visa, hire a car get to poland and dump it, meet up with your Polish citizen wife In poland, you see once you are in they cannot deny your right to a family life, the trick is to sneak in in the first place, damn hard to kick u out once in.

How is it possible to get holiday visa without any legal status?
I did not get your point
I am already in Poland now

Then you have legal status as married to a polish national , goto another voivodaship preferably warsaw.

Is that all voivoda have different rules?

dolnoslask 5 | 2807

3 Feb 2018 / #28

Yes sometimes the employees make their own rules, and sometimes you have to ask to see the boss "chef" to sort it out, I find mentioning the European courts usually sorts out any prejudice or lol misunderstanding.

So shall I have to change city now?

No that would just cause you and the family more grief, just make enquiries in different big cities. no one is going to come to your door to boot you out, if they do appeal, you have a right to legal representation.

I hope someone else who has been in your situation pops up to help more.

my wife would be in the same position if she was not from a EU country already....good luck
