I just started the process using my towns consulate. My whole family is from Poland... The nearest "polish" is my father. My grandparents lived in a town that was taken by the USSR in WWII (now its part of Ucraine) My father was born in a territory that was once poland and was repatriated using the 1957 repatriation act - http://untreaty.un.org/unts/1_60000/8/21/00015038.pdf Then he lived there for 3 years - emigrating to latin america in 1960. I have his paszport and birth certificate from poland He was naturalized in 1971 I also have both my grand parents passports. What wories me is: Article 4: a person is not considered a Polish citizen, even if on August 31, 1939, he or she would have Polish citizenship, but now live in a foreign country and regularly: 1) Following the changes in the borders of Poland, became a citizen of another state 2) has national Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Lithuanian, Latvian or Estonian. 3) has German nationality, (unless the spouse of such a person has Polish citizenship and resides in Poland). - in fact in USSR they were considered of jewish nationality - He has a 1960 passport. - After leaving USSR he never went back What do you guys think about my case? Anyone with a similar history?
