How did you get the work visa ? Did someone sponsor you? Was working remotely employed to your USA job an option?

My family has Taiwanese citizenship. But to get a Gold Card status, the requirements are not too difficult. There are a certain skillset that Taiwan government is looking to import. The gold card has a full path to citizenship.

When I first came over I just worked nights at my American job. I just didn't tell them and worked via VPN.

Much later, I started picking up work locally as a freelancer and now globally.

I no longer have a job American job.
