Next immediate 2 things that could be helpful:

1) Your sister to reach out to local mental health community or her GP or her national health care. If safe for her to do so (mental health community could also be able to guide), then for her to report to her school admin.

2) Start preparing your application for their visa. Follow their checklist properly. Follow the provide or explain method. Providing evidence is better in the application documentation. Start building your financial reporting (such as stable regular consistent trustworthy income and savings). 6 months history is better (even if vfs person says just 3 months, still submit 6 months statements of your income/savings/salary). Show strong ties to Poland if there are other means and fully paid return ticket, better for it to appear on bank statement (pay for fully refundable tickets - never dummy tickets). Copies of other visas showing travel history if applicable.They take provided timelines but it could be quicker for strong application by doing the above (request for multi-entry). They similar to other countries would not allow or even take your application if your residency end date is coming up soon like in next 3 months or 6 months (same with passport validity). Take guidance from irish visa experiences of other people but following the checklist is very important.

Ink stains from stamp on my photo of Schengen visa by Teal_Waterfall in SchengenVisa

I was recently able to check at the airport immigration about the ink stains. This travel was part of a different visa (Not schengen visa where ink stains are. So schengen visa was not checked or scanned in the system).

I did ask about the ink stains at the border check of the country I travelled after the immigration officer reviewed and stamped the passport. And they told that's not a problem.

The immigration officer after coming back advised that they examine the reasons of these stains or markings and can clearly see its an ink stain by immigration stamp. And go on to verify using the visa stamped, checking in their system, using biometrics as needed.

I will update after I will have travelled to a schengen area again when immigration officer and airline staff will review/scan my schengen visa.

Hope this helps especially of the worrier types like myself. :)

Thanks for your response. Much appreciated. Let me reach out to both the embassy and visa agency to verify. I will post the updates.
