Back after a quick summer break - and we're starting with a bittersweet win. ☀️⚖️ We saved our client's residence case, but he had already left Poland. 🇵🇱🇮🇳
Our client's TRC case in Poznań was closed (to be exact: left without consideration) because the Immigration Office considered that he had not provided the required documents on time. We disagreed and decided to fight it. We filed a complaint, and the Head of the Office for Foreigners (Chief of Immigration) reviewed the case.
And we won. ⚖️
The Chief of Immigration agreed that the Poznań office had made a procedural mistake - our client had not been given the legally required time to provide the missing documents. His case should not have been closed and now it can continue. ✅
Great news? Yes. But unfortunately, when we wanted to tell our client, we discovered that he had already returned to India.
His employment agency coordinator advised him to leave Poland - and he followed that advice without asking me, his lawyer, first.
And sadly, he is not the only one. Almost every month, at least one client whose difficult case or appeal we are handling leaves Poland before the result. Sometimes clients leave without letting us know. In fact, this week alone, we had two cases like this.
Then, months later, we receive good news and message them with the positive result instead of celebrating, we often get a reply: “But I already went back home. Can I still come back to Poland?” ✈️
Unfortunately, without a valid visa or another legal basis to enter Poland, it may no longer be possible.
So please:
If you have a lawyer - ASK YOUR LAWYER before you leave Poland. Not your friend. Not AI. Not your colleague. Not your employment agency coordinator. Ask the lawyer who actually knows your case. 😄 That's what we are here for.
Immigration cases require patience. Sometimes it takes months, sometimes a year or two. We know waiting is frustrating. We know uncertainty is exhausting. But don't give up while your lawyer is still fighting for you.
We won this case. We just wish our client had waited for the result. 💔
