Re: Sponser A Friend
U.S. immigration laws do not permit individual citizens to sponsor friends but only family members to whom such citizens are closely related
by blood, eg.,father-son, brother-sister, mother- daughter, etc. or if by marriage, husband-wife.
These kinds of sponsorship are designed to fascilitate the reunification of familes who may have become separated for a variety of reasons.
Your friend could apply for a visitor's visa or
if he were to possess special skills which American workers might not possess in great abundance, he might be fortunate enough to find an American employer who would be willing to sponsor him as an H1B visa applicant.
