My Filipino Nephew is Headed to America on a Tourist Visa [View all]

My wife's brother's 35-year-old son (my nephew through marriage) is a Professor at Ateneo College in Cebu, Philippines and will be traveling to the United States next month for his first visit.

He asked me what advice I could give him.
