Priests do not make vows. They will have made a promise of celibacy before they are ordained a deacon, and they make a promise of obedience to the bishop and his successors at their ordination. The only ones who make vows are monks and nuns, which has nothing to do with the priesthood, although some monks may later be ordained priests. As to Polish and American priests, the procedure for becoming a priest is exactly the same in Poland or in the United States, it has been carefully regulated by the Vatican ever since the Council of Trent in the sixteenth century.
