No it doesn't help.
We have a mega thread stickied for that reason.

Advise from a friend, I was told this, I was told that doesn't hack it.
Only Part 141 SEVIS approved schools can provide flight training to Foreign nationals that do not hold a Green card.
You're mixing up two things:
(because the ground school will be online) and I am able to get there with my B1/B2 visa, which mean, I will be taking the knowledge test and some flights training when I get there
Online training is to pass the Written Test, it is NOT Ground school required for your Private Pilot Training course.
No matter how much or how little training you do...any training for the (original) issuance of a Pilot certificate ...requires a visa.
Because you're not a US Citizen.
Period.
they said I can tell them that I am there for some flying lessons?
The school knows that they are
NOT telling you the truth and they are asking
YOU to lie to an Immigration Officer as you are
NOT going for some flying lessons you are going to train, pass a check ride and be issued a pilot certificate.
YOU NEED A VISA
