Wondering if this is a case where the lure is sponsoring someone to come work
in the US from abroad with a green card? If that is the case, then it might not
be a good opportunity to get your foot in the door.
Cheers!

$33/hour on W2 for an Oracle DBA with no benefits? I bet they would love to
have you work for that. At the very least, they need to provide benefits for
that Salary. That's a junior DBA scale.

No, that's not how it should work, I don't care where you live. If you're a
contractor, then it's okay to provide no benefits, but if you're on a W-2, then
I think it's fair to expect some benefit of being a full-time employee (and
barred from seeking other work, I presume).
I'd love to play a game of "guess what company made you the offer", but that
would probably get negative very quickly and might get mean. Regardless, I've
already privately assembled a list likely possibilities, just for my own
enjoyment :).
I don't know too many people that would be in a position to accept a job with
the parameters you stated.

All,
recently I am being offered a remote support DBA job and the hiring company
is asking me to quit my current regular position and work with them for 33$/hr
on W-2 with no benefits. Well I am in no position to accept this . but still
would like to know if this is how it works.
Thanks .
