Someone upthread said he stated he would not get a green card,[u][i] even though he is entitled to one as MM's spouse.
So if he doesn't have a green card what would his status be?
How is he working?
I know many people who are are different kinds of visas who do not have a green card (diplomatic spouse, etc.) and many of them do not allow you to work.

Why wouldn't he get a green card? I don't get how people are wringing their hands about it. Depend upon it that he's legal like sunrise.
He's married to a US citizen and has money. A hundred bucks says his paperwork was completed a year ago. I mean, come on.
That's not how it works
That’s exactly how it works! If you have money you don’t even need to be married, btw.
As means of education, please site the immigration law which allows for this, and how Harry would meet the requirements. Keep in mind that he is working for U.S companies as an employee. Also, what are the possible ramifications for him as a royal if he indeed has a green card?
Look up USCIS website. A US citizen can immediately bring over their spouse, their own parents and any minor children without any waiting time whatsoever. This is called “adjustment of status” and gives permission for the family members to live and work in the US until the physical green card arrives. You can also start this process while you are still abroad even before moving to America. This process can be initiated even when the US citizen and their spouse are still living abroad.
Did you all miss the point about Harry supposedly stated HE WAS NOT APPLYING FOR A GREEN CARD. If he is NOT APPLYING FOR A GREEN CARD then it gets back to under what condition is he allowed to have residency in the US?
Is he here under a "rich person's visa" (significant investment/job creation in US) and if so then how can he be working for U.S. companies as an employee? Also, aren't those visas limited in duration? Meaning, he would have to leave after so many years if he does not go on and get a green card as a spouse?
There may be special rules for members of royal families. In any event a person of Harry’s stature can easily get an O-1 visa which is for individuals of extraordinary accomplishments. It is a non-immigrant visa with an initial 3-year period of stay and can be renewed in yearly increments afterwards.
Do you really think he’s breaking US immigration laws?[/quote]
Not at all. I am just interested to know what his status is. Immigration is an important issue in this country and many people would probably be interested to know what his status is. Not only those who wish to immigrate here but also Americans who have immigration issues within their own families.
He is not here in his official capacity as a royal then I don't think he can use that as criteria for either diplomatic nor O-1.
If he has an O-1 then I think that is quite a stretch TBH. Per USCIS:
"To qualify for an O-1 visa, you must demonstrate
extraordinary ability by sustained national or international acclaim, or a record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture and television industry, and must be coming temporarily to the United States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability.
Extraordinary ability in the fields of science, education, business or athletics means a level of expertise indicating that
you are one of the small percentage who have arisen to the very top of the field.
Extraordinary ability in the field of arts means distinction. Distinction means a high level of achievement in the field of the arts. This is evidenced by a degree of skill and recognition substantially above that ordinarily encountered, to the extent that you are prominent, renowned, leading, or well-known in the field of arts."
Exactly what abilities does Harry have? What field has Harry risen to the very top of? Being BORN into a royal family does not mean a person has risen to the top by extraordinary accomplishment/acclaim. In fact, he isn't even at the top of the BRF.
