Legal Question in Immigration Law in Colorado

I have a friend that wants to come to the USA on a B2 Visa. At this point she is planning on going back home after it expires but she might like it enough to want to stay.I have a few questions...Will she be able to change her Visa status if she decides she would like to live in America? How much does a B2 visa cost for a citizen of the UK to visit America? How would she go about changing her status? How much money and time is she looking at before she can become a legal citizen? She also has a son...Will he be able to attend school while they go through the process? If so what measures does she need to take to continue her son's education?

As a citizen UK, she might be eligible to travel to USA without a visa on a Visa Waiver. She is allowed to stay in USA for up to 3 months only on a Visa Waiver, and can;t apply for a change of status.

If she wishes to go to school in USA, she may need to go back to UK and apply for a Student visa.

What is her eligibility to apply for residency in USA? You didn't clarify. Are you, a US citizen, planning to marry her? Or does she have someone here in USA who would petition for her?
