Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

As a self-employed real estate agent, you can't stay as there are no appropriate visas. If employed by a compnay, they have to petition for your green card.

Unless you are married to and petitioned by a US citizen spouse, the employment-based green cards are supposed to be petitioned by an employer (with a rare few exceptions where a foreign worker can self-petition, which doesn't apply for a real estate agent working on commission).

The non-immigrant work visa is H-1B visa (specialty occupation where a petition is filed by a US employer). For an H-1B, you have to hurry ot make it into the 2011 quota.
