Хочу оставить отзыв, потому что ребята реально заслуживают благодарности. Моя ситуация тянулась очень долго: больше года после подачи документов и уже около шести месяцев после сдачи отпечатков пальцев не было вообще никаких. Всё время висел статус «анализ материалов», и ничего не менялось. Решила обратиться в эту фирму, и с этого момента дело наконец сдвинулось с мёртвой точки. Уже на первой консультации мне всё спокойно и понятно объяснили: какая у меня ситуация, что можно сделать, какие документы нужно донести или исправить. Сразу стало видно, что люди знают свою работу и реально разбираются в процессе. Дальше всё прошло очень быстро и чётко. Помогли со всеми формальностями по карте побыту, всё подготовили как нужно, и уже через два месяца после обращения я получила положительное решение. Всё это время была поддержка от начала и до конца, на любые вопросы отвечали, подсказывали и помогали. Отдельно хочу отметить Кшиштофа - настоящий профессионал, видно, что человек с большим опытом. И большое спасибо Зюзанне за очень приятное и внимательное отношение: всегда на связи, всё объяснит, подскажет и поможет. Я правда очень благодарна за помощь. Всё прошло чётко, грамотно и без лишнего стресса. Смело могу рекомендовать всем, кому нужна помощь с легализацией в Польше. English translation: I would like to leave a review because the team truly deserve thanks. My case had been dragging on for a very long time: more than a year after I submitted the documents, and nearly six months after giving my fingerprints, there had been no progress at all. The status remained ‘document review’, and nothing changed. I decided to contact this firm, and from that point my case finally began to move forward. At the first consultation, they calmly and clearly explained my situation, what could be done, and which documents needed to be submitted or corrected. It was immediately clear that they knew their work and genuinely understood the process. Everything then went very quickly and efficiently. They helped with all the residence card formalities, prepared everything properly, and I received a positive decision just two months after contacting them. I had support from beginning to end: they answered every question, explained things and helped. I would also like to mention Krzysztof - a true professional with extensive experience. Many thanks as well to Zuzanna for being so attentive and pleasant to deal with: always available, always willing to explain and help. I am genuinely very grateful for the help. Everything was handled clearly, competently and without unnecessary stress. I can confidently recommend them to anyone who needs help with legalising their stay in Poland.
Z pełnym przekonaniem możemy polecić tę firmę i Pana Krzysztofa w zakresie pomocy przy uzyskaniu karty pobytu. Cały proces przebiegł zdecydowanie szybciej, niż gdybyśmy zajmowali się tym samodzielnie. Od samego początku mogliśmy liczyć na terminowe wsparcie, jasne wyjaśnienia oraz bieżące informowanie o wszystkich krokach i etapach postępowania. Każda nasza wątpliwość była szybko rozwiewana, a komunikacja była sprawna i profesjonalna. Firma aktywnie kontaktowała się z Urzędem, monitorując sprawę i podejmując działania w celu przyspieszenia wydania decyzji, co było dla nas ogromnym wsparciem i odciążeniem. Całe doświadczenie oceniamy bardzo pozytywnie - profesjonalizm, zaangażowanie i realna skuteczność. Zdecydowanie polecamy!♥️♥️♥️ English translation: We can wholeheartedly recommend this firm and Mr Krzysztof for help with obtaining a residence card. The whole process was considerably faster than it would have been had we dealt with it ourselves. From the beginning, we could count on timely support, clear explanations and regular updates about every step and stage of the proceedings. Every concern was quickly addressed, and communication was efficient and professional. The firm actively contacted the authority, monitored the case and took steps to speed up the decision, which gave us enormous support and relief. We rate the whole experience very positively - professionalism, commitment and real effectiveness. We definitely recommend them!♥️♥️♥️
Благодарим Пана Кшиштофа и его команду за помощь в получении карт побыта для нашей семьи! 🥹 Мы ждали больше года хоть какого-то движения по делам, своевременно доносили все документы, писали во все возможные каналы связи, но ответа так ни разу и не получили! И самым лучшим решением было обратиться за помощью в Польский центр резиденции. Скажу честно, в самом начале были некоторые опасения, что результата может и не быть, как и у множества наших друзей, которые оплатили за ускорение дел и ничего не получилось. НО после первой консультации все сомнения ушли. 🤝 Нам все рассказали, объяснили и просто «взяли нас за руку» и провели через весь процесс получения карты всего за 3 месяца «под ключ»: ребята сами доносили все документов в Ужонд, отслеживали статус дела, записали на получение карты и лично сопровождали нас сегодня при получении карт на руки! 😊 От души рекомендую вашу компанию! Желаю вам процветания и много довольных клиентов! 🤍 English translation: We thank Mr Krzysztof and his team for helping our family obtain residence cards! 🥹 We waited for more than a year for any progress in our cases, submitted every document on time and wrote through every possible channel, but did not receive a reply even once. Contacting Polskie Centrum Rezydencji for help was the best decision. To be honest, at the beginning we had some concerns that there might be no result, as had happened to many of our friends who paid to speed up their cases and did not get a result. BUT after the first consultation, all doubts disappeared. 🤝 They told us everything, explained it and simply ‘took us by the hand’, guiding us through the whole process of obtaining the cards in just three months, as a complete service: the team themselves submitted all the documents to the Urząd, monitored the case status, booked the card collection appointment and personally accompanied us when we collected the cards! 😊 I wholeheartedly recommend your company! I wish you continued success and many satisfied clients! 🤍
Jestem niezwykle zadowolona z kontaktu z Polskim Centrum Rezydencji. Profesjonalizm i doświadczenie specjalistów PCR stoją na wyjątkowo wysokim poziomie - eksperci są wyraźnie zaznajomieni ze wszystkimi zawiłościami i niuansami związanymi z legalizacją pobytu. Szczególnie chciałabym podkreślić skuteczną komunikację - terminową i przejrzystą, z wyjaśnieniem wszystkich niezbędnych szczegółów. Zawsze mogłam liczyć na pomoc w kwestiach niejasnych, co bardzo cenię. Jestem bardzo wdzięczna specjalistom PCR za skuteczne i pomyślne prowadzenie mojej sprawy i z pełnym przekonaniem polecę ich każdemu, kto potrzebuje pomocy w sprawach legalizacji pobytu.
