Well, if she doesvit from time to time then she knows the criteria. If your not the family she is visiting, I would not do it.

Thank you friends for the info. It is an older lady, she already has her education and will be here visiting family, which she does from time to time.
Thanks for the answers

I'm fairly sure that a visitor visa only lasts a few months. The person would then have to leave the country and apply again. It's supposed to be for tourists or people visiting family, that sort of thing. Going to school is called a student visa and getting a job is a work visa.

A person on a visitors visa does not have work authorization, nor would the visa typically be long enough to acquire a college education. After the visa expired, you’d technically have an illegal now living with you, and because they are, they might be harder to evict with their status.

Rather than exploiting you or another gullible American, this person could continue his education there (it will certainly be cheaper) with the idea of becoming an rn or a tech developer. Such skills tend to hurry the process a bit.

Or he can just be illegal. It would benefit immensely if he came with a pregnant wife, as those are the families getting 400/night rooms in midtown Manhattan, plus a 10,000 gift card food stamps plus free phone with WiFi. If he comes single and childless, there might be tent shelters instead. He’d receive more of a helping hand than homeless vets.
