Case of Specialist Iryna Bondarenko: Full "Turnkey" Support in Obtaining a Karta Pobytu — Without Stress, Errors, or Rejections
More and more foreigners arriving in Poland on short-term visas are looking to legalize their stay for a longer period. However, bureaucratic obstacles, language barriers, and fear of making mistakes can overwhelm even experienced professionals. This was exactly the case with Natalia, who approached Iryna Bondarenko after working legally in Poland for six months. Despite having a valid employment contract, she felt completely lost when it came to applying for a Karta Pobytu (residence card).
Client’s Request: A Desire to Stay — and the Fear of Doing It Wrong
1. Uncertainty and Delayed Action
- Natalia was officially employed under a valid contract and had legitimate grounds to apply for a residence card.
- She didn’t know which documents were required, how to correctly fill out the application form (wniosek), or how to book an appointment.
- She was afraid of making a mistake that could result in a rejection or long delays.
Solution: Full "Turnkey" Legal Support by Iryna Bondarenko
2. Comprehensive Support at Every Step
- Iryna began with a thorough consultation to identify Natalia’s legal grounds for applying.
- She created a tailored checklist of required documents, considering the specifics of Natalia’s employment and residence situation.
- Iryna personally completed the wniosek form and ensured it fully complied with the local immigration office's requirements.
- She scheduled the submission appointment and prepared Natalia for a potential interview with the authorities.
- After the application was submitted, Iryna stayed in contact, promptly responding to any requests from the immigration office, sending supplementary documents, and offering ongoing guidance.
Emotional Security as Part of Legal Assistance
One of the key elements of this success story was not only legal precision but also emotional support. Iryna explained each step in plain language, which gave Natalia confidence. What began with anxiety transformed into a sense of clarity and control. Everything proceeded smoothly, without pressure or uncertainty.
Result: The Residence Card Obtained Without Delays or Stress
- Just five weeks after submission, Natalia received a positive decision from the immigration office.
- Two weeks later, she received her physical Karta Pobytu, valid for one year.
- The entire process was completed without any rejections, document returns, or the need to reapply.
- Natalia is now officially employed, legally residing in Poland, and is already planning to apply for family reunification — again with Iryna’s support.
