Therefore, you should withdraw your application for Polish citizenship through the voivode, and only later can you apply for recognition as a Polish citizen.

The President of the Republic of Poland manages the issue of granting Polish citizenship to a foreigner without restrictions. He is not limited by the procedural requirements set out in the regulations, and thus the President has no restrictions as to the date of issuing a decision in a case concerning Polish citizenship. In the event of completion of the proceedings, the competent voivod will deliver it to the applicant decision of the President.

The application for granting Polish citizenship is submitted to the Minister of the Interior and Administration or directly to the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland together with the opinion of the Mazowieckie Voivode and a complete set of documents. The opinion is prepared if all the required documents are attached to the application. If the application contains formal deficiencies, then they are requested to be removed within 30 days from the date of receipt of the request. In the event of failure to supplement the deficiencies after this deadline, the application is left unrecognised.
Added: 28.12.2022
