Hi!My GC was granted last December 2009. My question is actually regarding my sister who visited me last year for a month since it is her vacation from work in Texas.She works in a cruise. After her contract,she went here in jersey and stayed with me for one month vacation before goin to Philippines for one month vacation too. I was thinking since she has her multiple entry tourist visa meaning she can go to USA even if she is decided to stop working at the cruise and maybe she can apply for a working permit here so she can work while she is on vacation for six months if she plans to. Is this allowed? If she plans to work in jersey where I live,what should be done? is there any particular paper that needs to be filed or something? I am actually clueless about this case. Need your help guys. Thanks in advance.

it is illegal for tourist visa holders to work in the US, unless she can find an employer who is willing to petition her and adjust her status.

I could write you an extensive essay about what it takes to get a work permit, but for all practical purposes understand that it is absolutely impossible for her to get one. If she was responsible for developing nuclear fusion, and her Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics would reflect that line of research, in short, if she could do what no American can do, she had a chance, eventually, after a long time of waiting in the Philippines while her sponsor goes through the ordeal of labor certification. But we have many people in the USA who can serve food, clean rooms, drive taxi cabs, and so on, so there's no way for her to get a work visa.
