Remnita:


Una no Dey hear word at all
Poland is not issuing out any appointment dates
Look into other countries

7th October will make it 3months since I have been waiting for an appointment which iam not even sure they will give me visa,if I don't get it by then Omo I go forget am travel go back where I dey before.sapa wan finish me.

LordHashira:


The Polish Embassy isn't interested in giving visa but collecting your 80 Euros (twice). This is is the core truth.

I think if we can come together we might be able to gather enough statistics and people to launch a complaint to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Polish Ministry, EU Commission, and so on because these people are just denying visas for no valid reason.

I was there on two consecutive days - the first day out of 30 people only 2 were given visas. The two with visas had official diplomatic passports. The next day same scenario. Are they saying out of 50+ people no one was able to pass their requirements? Mind you some of these applicants had multiple Schengen, US, and UK visas. One guy has been traveling from Sierra Leone more than 5 times and getting denials!

Many others have applied for months without an appointment or any information yet if you check other countries like South Africa you will see free slots in abundance. If the polish embassy isn't interested in working they should just close or announce the suspension of consular services so we know where they stand. You email them and the only thing they know how to do is copy-paste the same response over and over.

I saw people on reddit create a spreadsheet for tracking their UK visas. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MB77V6RGzaTFvahSm6hCfiLTUB6B0A6qj2uxu4SdYfw/edit#gid=0).

I believe it's high time we do the same and start collating the necessary data so it will be all very clear for everyone what is happening in that embassy!!

I am already preparing a strong letter for their ministry about this their yeye embassy.

I support you on this,I think the best way to start is by organizing a mini protest,if we can gather like 20 -50 person we go for a protest in front of there embassy that way they will know we are all aware of there tricks.

Hi Chuks,
How long did the verification of the document entitling you to work take before you got the link for the full visa application?

24 hours

khaynoni:
Hello house,

Please I have some questions regarding the online application for work visa.
1. Did you upload any document while filling the form online? If yes, what documents were requested to be uploaded?
2. Is notarization of certificates required for work visa?
3. Do I need a Police clearance certificate and proof of flight reservation for the online application or can I do them after applying but before the appointment date?

Thanks in advance

you don't need those for your your visa appointment booking.

Hello house , looks like we are in the same boat here just that im on ground 0 at the moment, so im currently awaiting my work permit from a software company in Poland and its already looking somehow with the timelines, i want to know if anyone has had any sort of ACTUAL visa assistance (Booking an appointment) from their employer with this Polish embassy. thanks in advance.

I don't think anyone can influence the visa appointment process,it totally by drawing every Saturdays especially those seeking with work permit.

It's another beautiful day of embassy appointment draw.goodluck to us.

Poland no dey show love at all.

counter44:


Hi, how many draws did your friend go through before they got an appointment?

Just trying to gauge the situation of things now.

But he collected his passport yesterday,guess what he was denied visa .

counter44:


Oh, okay. Thanks for your response.

I've just had my document verified by the consulate and filled out the full VISA application. This Saturday will be my first draw. Fingers crossed now haha!

I just got mine verified and I registered for visa application yesterday.waiting for next draw�.

I did mine, the list had about 10 names of people to be interviewed on the day.
Only 2 + me = 3 showed up

[It’s possible that the validity of the documents entitling some of the absentees to come to the embassy has already expired or something else I can’t explain but I’d love to know]

My time was 10:30am
5 others were slated for earlier (8am-ish) but only 2 showed up and they had both left before I came.
I suspect this was the case because on the list only those 2 were marked present and their details filled, out of all the people whose time was earlier than mine but everyone else was left blank even though their time had passed.

It was minutes past 9am and I was called in, I was shocked I had assumed I’d have some time to relax and collect my thoughts, I also erroneously assumed the crowd outside were all for visa interview. Only to find out I was the only one present for the interview.

They brought a list and asked of my name and time. I pointed it out to the guy: I was number 5 or 6 on the list.
One Naija security instructed another: “Tell them someone is here for 10:30am”
The white security: “Ok let him in, tell him to come”

It was all good, I entered; I had no chance to explain myself just quick fire questions about 10 questions and that was it. I answered everything to the best of my ability.

The lady went through my documents returned one original, she was pissed I stapled my passport photograph “did you get that information from the gate?” She yelled.
I replied “I did that long before I arrived abuja, I’m the only one for interview at the gate and the form said…” she wasn’t interested in my explanation she proceeded without letting me finish.

The thing pain me small because I felt I hadn’t said the most important thing I wanted to say but I kept it in. played it off.

I was going to say the form CLEARLY states ‘Passport’ with a rectangle for passport and the list clearly states colored 35*45 passport photograph with white background so it was only logical that I or someone else would place the passport on the area designated for passport. You can’t tell me in all the years that embassy has been there I am the first or only person to have placed a passport on the place marked Passport.

This wasn’t some cheat, hack or expo, or even something I thought would be of any real importance. The date of arrival I had thought would be off more importance was scuffed aside like it was nothing. She gave me the document to change something and sign. Write something else and sign.

So that passport Thing was the only notable stormy water or rough play incident, she took off the passport photo and gave it back to me and stapled the second passport to the form

She had succeeded in destabilizing my train of thought, I had to slow down and started repeating my answers twice, and more slowly. I felt she may have assumed someone coached me at the gate and maybe I crammed the answers, since I may have been giving all the answers they wanted to hear.

By 10:08 I was out already. Still no one else came for the interview till my ride arrived and I left at almost 10:20, you’d think anyone scheduled for 10:30 would be at the venue at 10:20 latest.

There were a lot of people present when I arrived earlier but most of them were there to complain and non of them was allowed in for various reasons ranging from no appointment date yet to late arrival and more.

But the number of people there to complain scared me. All the seats were taken some had to stand.

By the time I came out every one of them had left or were leaving out of frustration except one guy who was sitting, [another cause for concern especially for someone such as myself who needs to take a flight to abuja and book a hotel to do anything at the embassy].

All in all I felt it was too easy and I don’t like when things like these are too easy because it’s a little nerve wrecking it feels like a set up, maybe it’s PTSD from my days in University where certain lecturers would give us questions like “what is law” “give 10 definitions of law as test questions for 10 marks” and at the end of the day the whole class would fail because it was a trap or only meant to prove something to us and make us buy a handout. Especially when you know the lecturer has been placing emphasis on names of those who bought the handout and saying things like “you can’t pass this course without this book”, away from my PTSD of easy questions.

To me it seemed easy because I love politics, government, history, general knowledge, geography (I hated geography in school because of the teacher tho) and all that stuff so nothing was challenging to me. As I was answering them I said to myself are you sure this woman will not say I got all these answers from the gate too if she said that about fixing passport photograph to a place designated “passport”. This lady may be paranoid oh or it is just tactics to through me off. Because everything else up until then was 100% smooth.

But then I saw maths and my heart sank, alarm started blowing in my brain I had to calm myself down took 3 deep breathes solved the first and 3rd they were very easy (they had the least number of signs) but the middle one was more technical with plenty signs (x/and divide) so I needed one extra breathe it was also doable and I submitted

Now we await the outcome.

You know how something to you is such a big deal, you’ve spent months or even years gathering and preparing but to the people in charge or on lookers, the guys who determine your fate you’re just another statistic, just another days job, I mean to you it’s months or years of work and preparation to them it’s just another 10-15 minutes in the office LOL that’s the reality of things like these.
Or another more gruesome example is how to the mortuary attendant it’s just another dead body but to someone else it’s a loved one with many shared experiences, dreams, hopes, aspirations etc. etc,

That’s why I hate when things like these are too easy and the indifference is to the max, although it’s better than certain other outcomes. So we take solace in that.

For those who have been lucky and filled with grace to get to this point, my wish for us all is that same grace and luck continues to carry us till the very end. -BB

God bless you for sharing this infor with us,my friend have interview on the 29th this month.

Forget, people still get appointments o.my friend got appointment today.

szczescie:

Hurray! I just got it yesterday

But I am very conflicted

I had already given up kpata kpata

Infact I already applied for Canadian visa lol and I made no financial plans for this but I will push regardless

Sorry for the late reply I had really given up on this whole journey so even coming here became pointless and reading the weekly rejection mail was painful

Good news, since when did you apply for the draw?

[quote author=Christabel20 post= please we need answers to this question.@christabe20, when did your work permit came out?

Please,which documents do they request,I need guide on that.
