I'd say try to make it evident to your wife that it would be a good idea if she spoke some English. Then you might explain your problems to her, and she will ask in the relevant office. Best source of reliable information.

Have a look at section 5 at the Office for Foreigners site. 5) In the case if a foreigner is married to a Polish citizen, how can he/she obtain the right to stay within the territory of the Republic of Poland? http://www.udsc.gov.pl/FREQUENTLY,ASKED,QUESTIONS,809.html

Karta Pobytu and Right to Stay are two different things. The first is a flimsy piece of photographic ID, the second is a paper document, passport-sized, that looks like it was designed during the PRL. If you've been here long enough, your KB is exchanged for this Right to Stay.

Process is to get Meldunek, then go to the office with four photos, Meldunek, proof of income, proof of medical insurance, passport, proof of date of entry into Poland (visa), proof of marriage, and then fill in the appropriate form. Then copy EVERYTHING four times, pay, and submit papers to the right woman. Then come back four weeks later to collect your card, find they've spelt your name wrong, and repeat the process once again.

I once went back to find that they has rejected my application because a tiny part of my right ear was visible in the photo. I appealed the decision (on the basis that while their form said that the left ear must be visible, there was nothing about the right ear being entirely hidden) and they reversed their decision but again rejected my application, this time on the basis that my card had expired and so I couldn’t renew it. I appealed that (on the basis that it had only expired because they had incorrectly rejected the application in the first place) and they finally gave me my karta.
