Dublin procedure
Who may ask about the status of my procedure?
The status of your procedure may be notified to you in person or to your attorney (if the power of attorney is present in the files). In the case of your written authorisation, the status of your procedure may be also notified to the authorised person (e.g. a family member).
Can my documents be sent to my country of origin?
No, the Office for Foreigners does not send the original documents by post.
Who may receive my documents sent by the other Member state to the Office for Foreigners?
Receipt in person is preferred. In the case of a receipt by a family member or another person, a written authorisation is needed.
How can I reclaim the items left in another Member State (e.g. a pushchair, telephone or a TV)?
The Office for Foreigners provided help only in reclamation of documents. When it comes to material goods, it is possible to obtain the help of an embassy or a direct contact with a body of the given state where the items were left behind.
How am I reclaim the documents left in the other Member State after being transferred to Poland?
For this purpose submit an application to the Office for Foreigners for help in reclaiming them, stating the state in question.
Why was I transferred to Poland?
Poland is the state which should examine your application for granting international protection due to the first application submitted in this state or Polish visa held by you or a residence card (on the basis of the so-called Dublin Regulation).
What documents are necessary for reunification with family?
Depending on the needs of the procedure, it is necessary to provide the marriage certificate, birth certificate(s), document certifying disability, medical documentation, written consent of both parties to reunification in the given Member State.
Can I be reunified with my husband/wife, who is staying in a different Member State? I am here with a minor child/children.
In your case, the reunification will be conducted in the state where a larger part of the family is staying, namely where you are with the children. If you were here alone and the husband/wife would also be alone there, you would be reunified in the state where the older of you resides.
Can I be reunified with my child, who is staying in a different Member State?
You may be reunified with a child who is a minor and is being supported by you. Then you will be reunified in the state where you are staying, provided this is in the child’s interests.
It is not possible if the child is an adult, unless you are dependent on the child or the other way around. The dependency may concern, e.g. health condition or an elderly age and the related limitations.
