Grow up your moron. Becca is already sniffing around better looking guys in her home town and lost interest in your spotty geek looks. As for the polish connection, we have as many as we can fit in this small country... so sod off. Wake up Kyle, live your life where it is and leave the rest of the world alone.... nugget...

Likewise, there can be no break in Polish citizenship between the emigrant ancestor and the applicant. That is to say that one of your parents must have a valid Polish passport for you to \'easily\' qualify for Polish citizenship. If neither of your parents has a valid Polish passport, then you may find it tough to accquire citizenship. Poland does not explicitly recognize dual-citizenship. Make sure that you have a valid Polish passport before traveling to Poland if you are intending to claim yourself as polish. See: http://www.voyage.gc.ca/dest/report-en.asp?country=241000 http://www.voyage.gc.ca/main/pubs/dual_citizenship-en.asp Poland has mandatory military service which, being only 19, you may be required to complete. If you go this route, I would strongly recommend that you contact an immigration laywer with experience handling Polish citizenship cases as a friend of mine found it very, very difficult to aquire. Despite his father being Polish and currently living in Poland, it took 14 months before my friend was actually given a Polish passport. The worse thing was that after attending a conference in Warsaw, he was denied permission to leave the Poland for 6 weeks despite the fact that he entered on his US passport. Something about failing to declare himself as Polish when he entered the country triggered a full-scale check to ensure he had no outstanding obligations in Poland (i.e. military service, taxation, new Polish passport, etc). It was very strange. Alternatively, you can apply for a 6-month working permit to live and work in the UK as a US citizen. This is not particularly difficult to acquire if you have a technical university degree (engineering, compsci, maths, chem/physics) and/or a company willing to sponsor your entry. Without the latter, you\'ll need to demonstrate that you have the financial means to support yourself, without employment, for the duration of your stay. If you are intending to be self-employed then you\'ll probably need to show access to about $25K US as the cost of living in the southern UK is 2-3x higher than in the US/Canada. Waiting times for working visas are usually quite short, 4-16 weeks depending on the supporting documents you provide.
