Usage of the Present Perfect Continuous

Question

I heard this in a breezy conversation between an American and a non-native speaker carried on in a third country. The latter said:

"You are American! I have been in America, in Texas, I have been working in an IT company".

Is the Present Perfect Continuous pertinent here and correct altogether?

Stepp · Answer

The present perfect continuous (also called present perfect progressive) is a verb tense which is used to show that an action started in the past and has continued up to the present moment Walmart One. The present perfect continuous usually emphasizes duration, or the amount of time that an action has been taking place.
