Obtaining a Permanent Residence Card Based on the Polish Card
The client contacted us with a request to obtain a permanent residence card based on the Polish Card, which had expired. With experience in migration law, I began collecting and analyzing all the necessary documents to determine the client's eligibility for the Polish Card and, accordingly, for the permanent residence card.
Situation
During the document review, it became clear that the client had Polish ancestry, but there was no documentary proof of this. Since documentary proof of Polish descent is required to obtain the Polish Card, we decided to request the archives to search for relevant data.
Solution
We sent a request to the Polish archives to search for documents that could confirm the client's Polish ancestry. As a result of the archival research, we found a document regarding the ownership of land in Poland, which belonged to the client's great-grandfather. An important fact is that before the war, landowners in Poland could only be Polish citizens, so this document became decisive in the case.
Process of Obtaining the Polish Card
- Archival Research: The archive request was necessary to confirm Polish descent.
- Evidence Collection: After receiving documents from the archive, we prepared all the necessary evidence of the client's Polish ancestry.
- Application for the Polish Card: After collecting the documents, an application was submitted to obtain the Polish Card.
- Receiving the Polish Card: As a result, the client successfully obtained the Polish Card.
Process of Obtaining the Permanent Residence Card
- Submission of the Application for Permanent Residence: Immediately after obtaining the Polish Card, we submitted documents to apply for the permanent residence card.
- Case Review: The case review took 5 months. During this time, we additionally provided all required documents and explanations for the migration service's inquiries.
- Receiving a Positive Decision: As a result, the client received a positive decision for permanent residence.
Result
After 5 months, the client successfully obtained a permanent residence card based on the Polish Card. The entire process was organized on time and without additional delays. The client now has the ability to stay legally in Poland without needing to renew temporary permits.
Archive Documents: Found documents confirming the client's Polish ancestry.
Legal Support: All documents were prepared according to Polish legal requirements.
