    Hey John,

    I hope all is well with you. I think by "status", it means the conditions of their habitat as it relates to some kind of visa. An immigration agent might ask them, "what is your current living status". They may respond with, "I'm living with relatives while I look for a job", or, I'm living with a man taking care of his home and he is my employer". It's a note on their stability.

    Of course, I believe there are some Asians that still associate the family with a class system. That could be anything from simple peasants to an affluent family in their territory or region.

    That's my best guess. The next best thing to do would be to pry it out of them. :)
