Residency - 2025 by classygringo

I have been renewing my residency for a number of years and every single year I experience the same thing. I am told to upload it again in jpg format. I carefully check all the documents and am sure they are in jpg. I also work heavily on a computer ...

I can confirm they did ask for everything including 2 copies of passport size photos. I'm glad I brought everything because I have not seen the lines so long since covid. I would have hated to wait in that line again. Thanks for your response ... Read More

@jwronasc I did not use a lawyer for mine but it was difficult. My wife helped me a lot if she would not have been able to help me navigate the process it would have been way too frustrating and I would have definitely used a lawyer. The renewals ... Read More

My residency expiresOct and was not able to renew until November (no faster appointments offered) so that was only offered but I still think they charge a latefee for being "late" even though we had no option. I don't think it's going to be issue ... Read More

Tirzepatide (mounjara compounded) by courtney johnson

Does anyone know if I can get this there without a prescription?

classygringo

I do not believe they have Mounjaro however you may get Ozempic. The other issue is if you get Mounjaro in the US to have sent here it's liquid so I believe that has to be shipped via boat. That may take longer than the 21 days that it can be ... Read More
