My question goes like this:
A. She is staying in Chicago for three years now.
B. She has stayed in Chicago for three years now.
Is there any difference with regard to the meaning? If there is, please specify clearly. I saw in a powerpoint presentation online that sentence B also means she has lived in Chicago for three years and is staying in Chicago still. If that is the case, that would mean the both sentences have the same meaning.
