#1 - On March 14, at the immigration office in Krakow, I applied for my residency. Despite having applied on an outdated form, and even with needing another letter from the church, we completed the visit in 45 minutes. They said the decision would be made within 2 months. On May 12, I received news they had granted me a 3 year residency permit but the card would need to be picked up when ready. 2 days before we had to take Mikhaila and Veronica back to the airport, we received the call to come in at any time so we planned it for the morning of the girls flight on June 16. Here is a glimpse of the card and a photo from our celebratory lunch at Market Square in Krakow. A must see area for tourists. So blessed and grateful to God and the Church here in Tarnow and my wonderful Pastor Jan (Basia) Skarbek and our assistant Pastor Michael Wielgus, admin extraordinary!!
