Hi,
I have a friend that stays in Astoria, New York. As what she said, she left M'sia since last September and has been staying there as tourist. She has been supporting herself by working as online/home-based work which basically earn USD. Now she is applying for permanent resident of USA.

This is just too good to be true. I feel the situation is so fishy and unbelievable.

Advice??

Thank

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. Well, she's doing translation/ transcription works which are basically online-based. So, i suppose she can work anywhere she want. She just wanted to settle down in NY.

She's still in the process on the paper works and stuff, so like you said, I believe it's the lottery green card. So, you were saying that in order to be granted with green card (PR status???), she needs an appropriate working visa such as an employment or something??

I mean, she's basically a tourist with an extended staying, then lets say she is going for the green card thingy, but with an online job, US probably won't grant her the green card??

It's very hard to hear from her again because she has been avoiding her families and friends here. We only able to catch up via email weeks ago.
Look forward to hear from you again!!Thanks again for your help!
