Who are we writing to

We need this to send you the analysis and to calculate your appeal deadline.

What the analysis contains

  • The real basis of the refusal — not the operative part, but what the voivode actually built the decision on in the reasoning.
  • The defects that can be raised on appeal: no request to supplement a formal gap (art. 64 § 2 of the Code of Administrative Procedure), service to an outdated address, evidence ignored, a decision issued without establishing the facts (art. 7 and art. 77 § 1).
  • A straight assessment of your chances — including "an appeal makes no sense here, file a new application instead" when that is what the file shows.
  • The date by which the appeal must reach the voivode, and a quote for the firm to run the case. The fee for the analysis counts towards it.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the analysis take?

You get the written analysis within 48 hours of the payment clearing and a complete scan reaching us. If fewer than five days are left of your deadline, say so in the form — those files are taken out of order.

Can I write the appeal myself once I have the analysis?

The analysis tells you what the appeal should rest on and whether it is worth filing. The document itself is prepared by the firm: the second-instance authority hears the case afresh, and the outcome turns on how the objections are framed. An appeal written on your own burns the only deadline you have.

What if the 14 days have already passed?

Come to us anyway. What remains is an application to restore the deadline — filed within 7 days of the obstacle ending, together with the appeal itself, and it has to show that the delay was not your fault (art. 58 of the Code of Administrative Procedure). The analysis says whether there is anything to fight for.

Can I stay in Poland while the appeal is pending?

An appeal filed on time suspends enforcement of the decision, and the obligation to leave Poland arises only once the decision becomes final — you then have, as a rule, 30 days to leave. While the appeal is pending, that period does not run.

Which pages of the decision should I upload?

All of them, including the reasoning and the last page with the appeal instruction. The reasoning matters most: that is where the authority explains the refusal. A phone photo is fine if the text is readable.

What if the analysis says the appeal has no chance?

You get that in writing, together with what can be done instead: a new application, a different basis for stay, or a court complaint at a later stage. You are paying for a real assessment, not for a promise.
