My legal status in Poland: waiting for karta pobytu; how to check the status of application?

I am a non-eu citizen and came to Poland on a business visa issued by Latvia. I applied for Temporary Residence Permit in Poland based on company contract on 25 March 2018. I gave fingerprints and submitted documents. It has been four (4) months and I have not yet heard anything from immigration. Can you please let me know how I can check the status of my application and speed this application up? Will a visit to Urzad be of any help? I want to receive my karta pobytu as soon as possible. Also, what is my legal status in Schengen area during this process?
