Few years ago I flew to New York to renew my Polish passport. I was pregnant, it was hot and I definitely did not expect to stand in line at the Polish consulate for few hours, before I was able to file my form…<\/p>\n

I bet a lot of you know the pain! My friend who lives in New York came to the consulate with me. We got there fairly early in the morning and I could not believe how long the line outside of the building was…I almost faded just thinking about the long hours ahead of me, but being pregnant of course had a lot to do with me not feeling well at the same time. It was a really hot day.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, people in front of me were super nice. It was obvious that I was pregnant and they let me go ahead of them, so I can at least get inside of the building and be inside with ac going. It still took me about 2 hours to stand in line once inside of the building. But if not my cute baby inside me, I probably would have been there most of the day.<\/p>\n

Well, I have to take a trip to New York again sometimes soon to do the same thing. I wasn’t really looking forward to it, until I found out that there are no more lines at the Polish consulate!!!
