You file it&#10;with the &lt;strong&gt;higher-instance authority&lt;/strong&gt;, but &lt;strong&gt;through&lt;/strong&gt; the authority handling your case.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;ul&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;For a voivode&amp;rsquo;s decision the higher authority is the &lt;strong&gt;Head of the Office for Foreigners&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;The authority has 7 days to forward the reminder together with the file.&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;The higher authority decides within 7 days.&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;/ul&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;In the 14 cases we tracked, a reminder moved the decision forward by roughly 3 months.&#10;In 4 cases it changed nothing.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
