Non-EU married to a Polish, living in Germany, confused with visa & citizenship

Hello everyone, I am non-EU, in love with a Polish. We are presently studying in Germany and planning to work here later on. I would like to ask, that when we are married after our studies, what kind of visa I would get? Because there might be a chance that I cant find a job to apply for a valid visa right after I graduate, we are thinking to get married (for me to stay here) and looking for a job at the same time. So would anyone provide any information like in my case, with respect to visa or citizenship (German, Polich or EU)? It seems too complicated for me... Many thanks in advance!

anpas: we are thinking to get married (for me to stay here) Of course you are ! Why else do foreigners marry one another ! I've not been on PF for a while and it's nice to see that some things never change here ie. someone registers to make their first post one about how best to go about a sham marriage :-)

Dear Anpas,

According to the Polish law on citizenship dated February 15, 1962, you will be eligible for the grant of Polish citizenship in case you meet the following conditions:

a. you have been granted the temporary residency on the territory of the Republic of Poland
b. you have been married for at least 3 years with a Polish citizen
c. you make a statement before the relevant Polish authority that you want to become a Polish citizen. The statement must be made within 6 months from the day you have been granted the temporary residency, or, alternatively within 3 years and 6 months from the day you married a Polish citizen.

The authority relevant for all matters related to the grant of Polish citizenship on the basis of marriage to a Polish citizen is Wojewoda (Urzad Wojewodzki). For example, if you and your future wife will be living in Warsaw, or anywhere within the Mazovian Voivoidship, then you will have to go to the Mazovian Voivoidship, Department of Foreigners in order to settle all the issues related to the temporary residency, and citizenship. They are located at Plac Bankowy 3/5 and the manager of the office is called Mrs. Miroslawa Wozniak. If you are going to be living in Poland outside Warsaw or its administrative district, the authroity relevant for your citizenship issue will be always the Voivoidship (or Starostwo) of that district where you are living.

For more details regarding the opening hours and procedures I would suggest you to check out the website of Mazowiecki Urzad Wojewodzki.
Good Luck!
