I know it will probably fail, thanks in advance anyway

So, I’m from Dominican Republic and my GF is an US citizen and she’s not working for reasons that are not relevant. She doesn’t have an income.

Some time ago a lightbulb went off in my head and I thought to myself: Wouldn’t it be really, really cool to have a remote position as an interpreter/customer service rep (what I’m doing right now) but working “from” the US?

I think I got all bases covered. Skype phone numer, address in the US for her mom where I could potentially receive mail or anything and my GF’s consent to impersonate her.

There’s just a couple of things that worry me. Firstly the interview: It’s 2023, maybe they won’t question why, although I’m biologically female, why I look and speak like a man? Would saying that I’m transitioning work? Work computer? Do all companies require you to use their own equipment? Having the equipment sent to me from US to DR is possible but would take a while to arrive here and IDK if they could notice that I’m abroad so maybe a router VPN would be neccesary I guess.

    I’ve seen crazy but this is next level crazy. To think that people like you are allowed to integrate into society and work like normal people is very scary.

    “my GF’s consent to impersonate her”

    Fraud, impersonation, the wrath and fury of the IRS and tack on a spicy dose of conspiracy.

    This is absolutely stupid.

    I think the main thing is that impersonating someone and using their information to get a job is called FRAUD and Identity theft and is illegal. It doesn’t matter if your GF says it is ok. The other thing is, unless you have authorization to work for a US company and the required visas, this is also illegal. These are 2 potential state for federal charges that you can get if you are found out. That could lead to consequences as a fine, jail, barred from entering the US. You need to reconsider this approach.
