The lack of a valid visa, deportation
Our problem is the lack of valid visa. My fiancé returned to Azerbaijan to get visa, which he got for month to make a new passport. A few months ago we tried to get married in Denmark, because we heard that there waiting for marriage is 2 weeks, but the local registry office delayed appointment date for a long time, so his visa expired. At this moment my fiancé stays in EU illegally. Is it possible to apply for visa longer than month? Unfortunately, I cannot send him an invitation, because the whole this practice is difficult for me. If I get the opportunity to start my own business, is there the risk for my fiancé to be deported. I&rsquom very afraid of it. We tried everything but unfortunately we can&rsquot help ourselves. Does it make sense to start such case and how much will it cost?
Your case is not simple, but it can be solved because of your intention to get married. One of circumstances for getting temporary residence permit for foreigner is marriage with polish citizen. 
 
At this moment the best solution for your fiancé is to stay in Poland and start procedure of legalization his residence. On the one hand it is necessary to get all required documents for getting married, on the other hand to apply for getting temporary residence permit to Governor according to foreigner residence.

Furthermore, according to art. 330 of Law on Foreigners a decision obliging the foreigner to return is not issued to a foreigner who is married to polish citizen, or to foreigner who has permanent residence permit or long-term residence permit in Poland, and don&rsquot object to the defense reasons, or national security, provide of safety and public order if only the purpose of marriage or its existence is to circumvent this law.
