I know there are knowledgeable people in these echoes - maybe someone knows
the answer to this.

I have a neighbor who's living here on a visa that will be expiring soon. 
He has a relative living in New York who will sponsor him in his attempt to
get a green card.  He told me that, because the sponsor lives in New York,
he will have to work in New York and pay New York taxes.  He'd rather stay
in Maryland, and find a job here.  He'd be paying taxes, federal and state,
whether he wound up working in NY or MD, so he was wondering if it is
possible to be sponsored by someone in one state, while living and working
in another.  Does anyone know?  I haven't had much luck finding an answer
on the web.  I'd like to keep this guy as a neighbor, if possible.
 
Thanks for any help.
