what is your nationality ?

 

Did you make clear that you want to apply under European law? You can do that because your spouse has been working in the UK. Even though you are not a European citizen, your application should still receive priority treatment. You can try to insist on this, although I am not sure how much difference it would make.

Another option is that you go without a visa. Under European law that is possible, as long as you travel together and can prove your case (contracts, bank statements for you and your spouse, and the marriage license). I would not recommend this without checking first with border control in Poland.

You could also apply for a visa at a different Schengen country (Germany?). You should then visit that country during your trip, although without border checks there is probably no proof either way.
