Given that US law requires a visa for training exceeding 18hrs/week, and absolutely nobody I have come across in the last few years has found any reference to the contrary that is stronger than a barely readable email from a half illiterate US Embassy official (or similar), what do you think would happen to somebody who simply went to the USA on holiday and popped into a school?

I am taking about doing something that is TSA exempt, of course.

IMHO, all that the immigration service could do is chuck him out, but even then on what legal basis?

Somebody must know.....
