If a significant amount of time has elapsed (perhaps 4-5 months and upwards)  since an application has been submitted and there is still no response from Poland, then an applicant might want to send a letter of inquiry to find out the status of the application. Please find such a letter below in Polish followed by English translation. It is a fillable Word document. The translation completed by Aleksandra Rawska (http://www.aleksandra-rawska.com).
