Again! Warsaw Administrative Court rules in favor of our Client: Administrative Court Suspends Another Negative Immigration Decision
Receiving a negative immigration decision can feel like the ground is slipping from beneath your feet. Suddenly, your future in Poland, your job, and your family’s stability are thrown into limbo. However, a negative decision from an administrative organ is not the end of the road. Ruling of Administrative Court in Warsaw that Suspended Negative Refugee Decision Our legal team has secured another critical victory at the Warsaw Administrative Court (WSA). On May 21, 2026 Warsaw Administrative Courte judge Aleksandra Wielpolska issued a favorable ruling (postanowienie) completely suspending the execution of a negative decision issued by the Refugee Council (Rada do Spraw Uchodźców) to transfer our client to another EU State. Here is what this means for our clients, why it is an absolute game-changer, and how we apply this winning strategy across multiple areas of immigration law, including Temporary Residence Cards (TRC). The Power of a Suspension Ruling: What Just Happened? In this specific case, the Refugee Council had issued a decision to discontinue international protection proceedings and transfer our client to another EU Member State under the Dublin regulation. Normally, such a decision paves the way for an immediate, forced departure or transfer. Legal Immigration Poland legal team immediately stepped in, filing a comprehensive complaint along with a strategic motion to suspend the execution of the decision which lets our client (1) stay legally in Poland with (2) keep his right to work fully legally and (3) entertain the right to free medical health care as long as his case will be ongoing (probably for a next few years). The Court agreed with our argumentation, ruling to fully suspend the execution of the challenged decision. Why This Is Important for the Client Immediate Protection from Deportation/Transfer: The most crucial benefit is that the client cannot be forced to leave Poland or be transferred to another country while the main court case is pending. Preservation of Legal Status: It temporarily freezes the negative effects of the immigration ruling. The client remains legally on Polish territory. Elimination of “Irremediable Harm”: The law allows for a suspension if executing the decision risks causing severe damage or irreversible consequences. By winning this motion, we buy our clients the time they need to fight their case without the looming threat of sudden removal. Beyond Refugee Cases: Winning Suspensions for temporary residence permit in Poland/TRCin Poland (Karta Pobytu) Decisions Our success in freezing negative immigration outcomes is not limited to international protection in Poland. We regularly deploy high-stakes legal strategy to safeguard clients who have received negative Temporary Residence Card (TRC) decisions from the Chief of Foreigners Office (Szef Urzędu do Spraw Cudzoziemców) and want to avoid deportation at any cost. For instance, in a court case against decision of Chief for Foreigners Office (Szef Urzędu do Spraw Cudzoziemców) denying temporary residence permit due to providing falsified bank statements by client’s previous representative (non-professional lawyer, so called “agent”) the Warsaw Administrative Court by the ruling of 8th August 2024 decided to suspend negative temporary residence permit decision (TRC) for the time of entire court procedure, which can sometimes last even a few years. Of course during that time a client is allowed to stay legally in Poland and under certain circumstances also work legally. The most important, however, is a priceless peace of mind with no risk of arrest and deportation. What are the Implications of a TRC in Poland Suspension? When a final administrative decision denies a TRC, the law typically requires the foreigner to leave Poland within 30 days. Filing a standard complaint to the WSA does not automatically pause this clock. That is where our specialized litigation tactics make the difference. When we successfully obtain a suspension ruling for a negative TRC decision, the implications are profoundly beneficial: No Requirement to Leave: The 30-day deadline to exit the country is completely paused. Continuous Legal Stay: Your right to remain in Poland is securely locked in place until the Warsaw Administrative Court and the Supreme Administrative Court fully review the your case, which may take a few years; Business and Life Continuity: It provides immense psychological relief and practical stability. You can continue living your life, maintaining your home, and awaiting a fair trial without the constant anxiety of an unexpected border guard inspection. Trust, Experience, Professionalism. Act Swiftly. Immigration litigation requires precision, deep familiarity with administrative court trends, and rapid action. A motion for suspension must be flawlessly argued, proving to the judge exactly why an immediate execution of the decision would cause severe and irreversible harm. As this latest May 2026 ruling proves, our tailored approach works. We do not just file paperwork—we build shields that protect your life and future in Poland. Why Investing in a Licensed Immigration Advocate is Your Only Real Shield in Poland When your future in Poland is on the line, cutting corners with unlicensed “agents” or cheap document-filling services (also Russian called “pomagatory”) is the fastest way to get into immigration trouble finally ending up with a deportation order. Immigration litigation before the Immigration procedures in Poland are highly complex and formalistic. Administrative Court representation requires a deep understanding of evolving case law and precise legal argumentation. A licensed advocate (“adwokat”) or legal advisor (“radca prawny”) is bound by strict professional ethics, carries malpractice insurance, and possesses the exclusive right to represent you directly before a judge. Safeguarding professional TRC representation, crafting a successful motion for suspension TRC decision is not a matter of filling out templates from Internet or Chat GPT; it requires flawless legal analysis to prove legal premises to a judge. This is why professional legal representation provided by Legal Immigration Poland is an investment in your future life in Poland – not a mass cheap service based on Internet templates, that most probably will lead you to destroying your immigration opportunities in Poland and deportation with EU/Schengen ban for years. Received a negative decision? Do not wait for the clock to run out. The window to appeal
Success of Our Law Firm in a Court Case Before the Provincial Administrative Court in Warsaw
We’re thrilled to share a remarkable victory achieved by our law firm, a success that could become yours too! We recently represented a foreign client before the Provincial Administrative Court in Warsaw, challenging a decision of the Head of the Office for Foreigners (Szef Urzędu do Spraw Cudzoziemców). The decision of Wojewoda Mazowiecki (I instance immigration authority) and the second decision of the Head For Foreigners Office (II instance immigration authority) denied a temporary residence permit in Poland. As a result of court appeal filed by our immigration advocate Patryk Przeździecki, the court overturned the negative decision and awarded procedural costs for our client. The client is again legal to stay in Poland with a right to work. This outcome highlights how crucial it is to have the right legal support by your side. Why Was the Residence Permit Denied? Our client, a foreign national, applied for a temporary residence permit in Poland to continue full-time studies. Being new to Poland and unfamiliar with legal matters, especially in a foreign country, the client sought assistance from an agency specializing in legalizing foreigners’ stay—just as many of his fellow students had done. Unfortunately, this decision led to serious complications. During the proceedings, the Voivode questioned the authenticity of a bank statement submitted to the Immigration Office in his TRC in Poland case. The Border Guard, in its preparatory investigation, determined that the statement, along with other documents related to foreigners’ bank accounts in the same bank, was not authentic. Thus, the Voivode concluded that the document had been created solely for the purpose of the proceedings and deemed the client’s presence in Poland a potential threat to public security. This decision was upheld by the Head of the Office for Foreigners, even though the client submitted an updated and valid bank statement and independently appealed the Voivode’s decision without help of previous representative. Although, the documents filed with Wojewoda Mazowiecki by the client’s former agent proved to be falsified (not-authentic), we were able to obtain a favourable court verdict for our client. The Crucial Role of Our Attorney When our client found himself in a challenging situation, he contacted our law office. This decision changed everything! Thanks to a thorough analysis of the case, clear explanation of risks and opportunities, and a professional legal strategy, we were able to file a successful appeal with the Provincial Administrative Court in Warsaw. The court sided with our arguments, overturned the contested decision, and ordered a reexamination of our client’s case. What Did Our Client Gain with Our Help? Legal residence and work rights in Poland – the client can now continue his professional career. The ability to continue education A stable future in Poland – completing his education opens the door to a dream career and stability, fulfilling his family’s aspirations. Proof of no threat to public security – the client demonstrated his is a trustworthy individual, allowing him freedom of movement within EU countries. Compensation for the inability to work – the client may seek approximately 25 000 PLN in compensation from the State Treasury for the six months when their stay was considered illegal. A Lesson About Non-Licensed Representation As we mentioned, in the first instance, our client entrusted his TRC in Poland case to a non-licensed representative. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a significant mistake. The client was not kept informed about the case’s progress, and his interests were not adequately protected. Why Is the Choice of Legal Representative So Important? Our client’s case is a clear example of how crucial it is to choose the right legal representative from the very beginning of immigration process. Entrusting your case to non-licensed agents who lack the necessary qualifications can lead to serious issues, wasted time, financial losses, and even the forfeiture of opportunities for a favorable resolution and a secure future.

Thanks to our attorney’s efforts, the client achieved justice and gained a chance to pursue his plans and dreams.

What to Wear to Court in Poland: A Guide for Your Court Appearance
When preparing for a court appearance, people often focus on gathering documents and consulting with their attorney, but an often-overlooked detail is what to wear. Your attire can impact how you’re perceived by the judge, jury, and court personnel. Dressing appropriately is crucial, whether you’re appearing as a plaintiff, defendant, witness, or observer. Why Courtroom Attire Matters Courtrooms are formal environments that demand respect. Your appearance communicates your seriousness about the proceedings and your respect for the court. While your clothing won’t influence the judge’s final decision, improper attire can detract from your credibility or become an unnecessary distraction. General Guidelines for Courtroom Attire Dress conservatively and modestly: Opt for professional attire and avoid flashy, casual, or revealing clothing. Ensure clean and well-fitting clothes: Clothes should be neat, free from stains or wrinkles, and appropriately sized. Neutral colors work best: Stick to darker tones like navy, gray, or black, which signal professionalism. Avoid overly bright colors or bold patterns. For Men Suits or dress pants with a collared shirt: A dark-colored suit is ideal. If you don’t own a suit, dress pants and a button-down shirt work. Adding a tie can further enhance formality. Shoes: Choose polished dress shoes in black or brown. Avoid sneakers, sandals, or open-toed shoes. Accessories: Keep it simple. Avoid large jewelry and choose understated accessories like belts and ties. For Women Suits, skirts, or dress pants: A professional suit (pants or skirt) or a conservative dress is appropriate. If wearing a skirt or dress, it should be at least knee-length. Pair it with a modest blouse or top. Shoes: Closed-toe shoes are recommended, such as flats or low heels in neutral tones. Avoid overly high heels, sandals, or flip-flops. Jewelry and accessories: Stick to small, tasteful jewelry. Avoid large, flashy pieces that could be distracting. Grooming and Appearance Be sufficiently groomed: Ensure that your hair is clean and neatly styled. If you have facial hair, it should be well-trimmed. Cover visible tattoos: While tattoos are more socially accepted today, it’s best to cover them during a court appearance. Long sleeves or scarves can help conceal them. Remove removable piercings: Take out any non-traditional or facial piercings, such as nose rings or lip piercings. Standard earrings are generally acceptable, but avoid anything too large or unusual. What to Avoid Wearing to Court Casual clothing: Items like jeans, T-shirts, shorts, and hoodies are inappropriate for court. Even if the court feels informal, always dress professionally. Athletic wear: Avoid wearing sneakers, gym clothes, or any athletic wear. This attire may be seen as disrespectful to the formal setting. Graphic or offensive clothing: Do not wear clothing with logos, slogans, or offensive images. These can distract from the seriousness of the court proceedings. Hats: Hats should not be worn in court unless for religious reasons. They are seen as disrespectful in most court settings. Heavy makeup or strong fragrances: Avoid heavy makeup or wearing overpowering cologne/perfume. You want to keep the focus on the case, not your appearance. Overdressing: While dressing formally is important, avoid going to extremes. Flashy or overly expensive clothing and accessories can send the wrong message. Keep it professional but low-key. Special Considerations Cultural or religious attire: It is absolutely acceptable to wear clothing required by your religious or cultural practices. The court is respectful of these considerations, but your attire should still be clean, modest, and professional. Cold weather: In colder months, you might wear heavy coats, but be mindful that courtrooms can be warm. Wear layers that can be easily removed once inside. Court-specific dress codes: Some courts may have explicit dress codes. It’s always a good idea to check with your attorney or the court’s website to confirm what is acceptable. First Impressions Matter A courtroom appearance is a serious event, and your attire plays a key role in shaping the first impression you leave. While dressing appropriately may not determine the outcome of your case, it shows respect for the legal process and ensures that the focus remains on your case, not your clothing. Conclusion In court, professionalism is essential, and the right attire ensures that you present yourself in the best possible light. By following these simple guidelines—dressing conservatively, being sufficiently groomed, covering tattoos, and removing facial piercings—you can enhance your credibility and ensure that the court takes your case seriously.

The Journey: Applying for Long-Term EU Residence Card Our client, seeking to establish a new life in Poland with his family, applied for a Long-Term EU Residence Card in Warsaw. After submitting the application, he encountered an unexpected roadblock. Six months later, the Immigration Office issued a negative decision, citing a surprising reason. It was revealed that our client’s father had Polish citizenship in the past, and according to Polish law, had not lost it. This revelation led the Immigration Office to deny our client’s application for the Long-Term EU Residence Card in Poland, suggesting that he was eligible for a procedure related to confirming his Polish citizenship.

The appeal process led us to administrative court proceedings, where we presented our client’s case in front of a judge. Armed with legal expertise and a deep understanding of immigration law, we diligently argued our client’s right to a Long-Term EU Residence Card based on his specific circumstances. 3. The Triumph: Court Decision Favors Our Client’s Residency Goals After months of waiting and legal battles, our client’s determination paid off. The administrative court recognized the merit of our arguments and acknowledged our client’s unique situation. In a decisive verdict, the court ruled in favor of our client, obliging the Immigration Office to issue the Long-Term EU Residence permit in Poland that our client had been seeking. The court’s decision not only secured his residency status in Poland but also preserved his British citizenship, aligning with his preferences and aspirations.

Illegal stay in Poland due to undelivered letter from the Immigration Office. Positive decision of the Administrative Court in Gdansk.
At Legal Immigration Poland, we understand that navigating the complex landscape of immigration regulations can sometimes lead to unexpected challenges. One such remarkable story involves our client from Belarus who found himself in an illegal stay situation in Poland due to an undelivered letter from the Immigration Officer by polish national post. Thanks to the exceptional determination and experience of our immigration attorney Patryk Przeździecki, we managed to achieve a positive decision of the Administrative Court in Gdansk and the recognition of the client’s stay in Poland as legal. Let’s take a closer look at this inspiring journey. Unexpected Trouble During the COVID-19 pandemic situation a foreigner applied for a TRC in Poland by submitting application by post on his own since it was difficult to make a personal appointment at the Immigration Office at this time and visa was expiring soon. It is important to mention that according to the Law on Foreigners in Poland, the date of submission of your application for TRC in Poland to the relevant Immigration Office by post is considered as the official date of submission of your application, as well as the official date from which you can stay legally in Poland until the date the final decision in this case was signed even if your visa expired after this date. But if you miss the correspondence from the Immigration Office to come to their office personally all this stay can be considered as illegal. Thus, he knowing these rules submitted application and was waiting for a letter from the Immigration Office with invitation to come to their office personally, show original documents and submit fingerprints. However, what started as a straightforward process turned into a nightmare for him when thanks to our immigration specialists it was found out that a letter from the Immigration Office was sent but was not delivered to the foreigner in a proper way. This unfortunate turn of events led to an illegal stay status during more than 1 year, threatening their legal residency in Poland, deportation to the country of origin and casting a shadow of uncertainty over their future. 2. The Power of Expertise When our client reached out Legal Immigration Poland, our experienced immigration attorney Patryk Przeździecki got to work immediately. Armed with an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of immigration law and the legal system in Poland, our attorney embarked on a mission to rectify the situation. 3. Crafting a Solid Defense With careful attention to detail, our attorney methodically analyzed the case, identifying the gaps in communication that had led to the undelivered letter and subsequent legal challenges. Armed with a well-crafted defense, he filed a formal complaint to the Administrative Court in Gdansk about the improper performance of the duties of employees of the Postal Office and Immigration Office, which led to the fact that a foreigner became a victim of illegal stay in Poland without the knowledge. 4. Triumph in the Courtroom Months of effort were crowned with success when thanks to the convincing arguments presented by our lawyer, the Administrative Court in Gdansk made a positive decision, recognizing the sincere intentions of the foreigner, giving him legal status and forcing the Immigration Office to issue the decision in his case immediately. 5. A Story of Strength This story shows how strong people can be when they face immigration problems – especially with the help of a great immigration lawyer.
