Founder of FasterPermit
I know what it feels like to wait for a decision in uncertainty
While studying in the USA at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, I was an immigrant myself for 4 years. I know what it feels like to build a life in a new country and how many questions arise every day - where to look for information, who to ask for help, how long to wait for a decision, and what rights you have. I have always played football - in the United States, I played on teams with Latinos who supported me from the beginning and treated me like a member of their family. Thanks to them, I saw firsthand how complicated and stressful administrative matters can be for people living outside their home country and how often formal procedures make it difficult to visit loved ones.
Today, I have many friends from all over the world, and professionally, for over 10 years as an HR Director, I have been hiring people from different countries. For a decade, I have observed how administrative procedures work and how overwhelming months of waiting for a decision can be for people. I personally understand the uncertainty that comes with dealing with formalities in a foreign country. As a person, a Pole, and a resident of Gdańsk, I strongly believe in the importance of keeping promises, honesty, and trust. That is why FasterPermit was created - to give people greater confidence and help them navigate the difficult world of bureaucracy.
We created a free assessment so that anyone can check their situation in 60 seconds and understand what steps they may take next - with no risk and no obligation. We operate according to a simple principle: one fair price, no hidden fees, and complete transparency.
Although FasterPermit is a newly launched brand, we cooperate with experienced law firms specializing in immigration law in Poland to provide our clients with professional support.
If you are looking for a partner who understands your situation and someone you can truly trust - complete the free assessment and find out what options you have.

How much time does the office have? (and why it is not that simple)
Before you assess whether the office is late, check when its deadline actually starts. This is the most common misunderstanding in residence cases.
| Case | Deadline | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary residence | 60 days | art. 112a ustawy o cudzoziemcach |
| Permanent residence and EU resident | 6 months | art. 210 i 223 ustawy |
| Appeal (Head of UdSC) | 90 days | appeal procedure provisions |
Hook: The 60-day deadline does not run from the date of application, but from the latest of three events: personal appearance (fingerprints), supplementation of formal deficiencies, or submission of documents requested by the voivode.
Correcting the myth
Online, there is information about "90 days for permanent residence". The law says otherwise: for permanent residence and EU resident, the deadline is 6 months. 90 days applies to the appeal proceedings before the Head of UdSC.
Why you wait longer: suspended deadlines
Practice diverges from the law because since 2022, Art. 100d of the Ukrainian special act applies: the running of deadlines for residence cases is suspended. After the amendment of Jan 23, 2026, the suspension lasts until March 4, 2027. In this regard, the voivode has no formal obligation to meet the deadlines in the table above.
Ukrainian citizen (special act)
Suspension applies. It is difficult to allege inaction, and a reminder usually won't speed up the case.
Citizen of another country
Art. 100d should not apply. The statutory deadlines run, and after they expire, a reminder and complaint have real grounds.
The average duration of proceedings before the Provincial Administrative Court from the date of filing a complaint is approx. 3 months.
The duration of the case may vary depending on the circumstances of the specific case.
If you are still wondering...
Imagine a situation: The Voivode has to make a decision in two cases. Two people have been waiting exactly 2 years for a decision, no end in sight. What do you think - whose case will be resolved faster: the one who waits passively, or the one who is urged by an experienced attorney?
Exactly in this situation were two people whose cases ended positively for our clients:
Case 1
The client was waiting for a decision since 23.02.2023. They contacted us when they still had not received a decision - 03.02.2025.
Case 2
The client was waiting for a decision since 10.08.2020. After our intervention, the case was resolved positively within 6 weeks.

I waited 8 months. 2 weeks after reporting, the office issued a decision. I could not believe it was possible.
I received compensation for protracted proceedings - 600 PLN. An unexpected bonus. I highly recommend FasterPermit!
They explained to me that a reminder does not make sense in my case. I appreciate the honesty - it is rare.
They answered all questions, even in the evenings. I felt taken care of. Recommended!
