Poland

Hi,

My fiancee received her packet last week from the US Embassy in in Warsaw, Poland. We're a bit confused as it says the interview cannot be scheduled until the fee has been paid in Poland and one obtains a receipt#. Does anyone know if it's possible to pay the fee the same day as interview? She's in Belarus. Thanks in advance!

the only way to make appointment is by paying the fee online or check the your embassy/consulate website for locations where they accept payments, am sure after that its a piece of cake to schedule appointment.

According to the US Embassy in Warsaw: in Polish and in English you have to pay BEFORE you make an appointment. You have to wait a day after making a payment till you call and schedule an appointment.

Ok, trying to make this payment from America. Has anyone done this? I called the Polish embassy and they told me I would have to open a bank account in a Polish bank. There has to be an easier way.

They have a web site for a sofort banking service but my bank is not on the list, any advice in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I just went through this process in February. Someone has to go to Warsaw and go to the main post office and pay. They will need her embassy case number. They will recieve a reciept number that it has been paid. The next day you can call the embassy with the reciept number and scedule an interview for the next day if the fiancee is from Belarus. I am not sure about Polish citizens. If the fiancee is approved they can recieve their visa the day after the interview. The process takes 4 days unless you have someone in Warsaw to take care of the first step for you. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.
