Belarus: Poland Visa Required?

[Jim_Mila 0]

My Fiancée is from Belarus. Normally a visa from Poland would be required for her to visit Warsaw. I read on another site the visa may not be required to visit the US Consolata in Warsaw. Has anyone from Belarus had an interview in Warsaw?

Also she plans to fly from Warsaw to the states. Has anyone else done that? Are there any problems with leaving directly from Poland?

Thanks!

Yes, she needs a visa to enter Poland. This should be done in advance, because in case they deny her, she would have to have her interview moved from Warsaw to some other consulate handling Fiance visas.

Most importantly, when seeking the PL visa, she must clearly state that her intent is consulate interview only. If she says anything else, like the part about staying there for 2 weeks until she has the visa in hand may result in denial. They are very picky about this. Also, I thought they send the visa stamped passport back to the home country, don't they?

Thanks for replying. I will be sure to tell my fiance to mention she is going to Warsaw for the intervie. I hope she can depart from Poland on a flight to the states.

I have read that Warsaw generally provides the K1 visa next day at the embassy for the people residing in other countries.
