https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools    This is a good place to start looking for a school.  Make sure it is accredited otherwise you won't be able to use the degree.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Looking for not expensive school for the master. Have first degree in international relations already.

Ask here, please, they give grants and it can be almost free, yet International relations field, I'm not sure. Mostly you can get a grant in science

If you are seeking advice on universities that would be a good fit, you might be better off looking at forums concerning higher studies in the USA. For undergraduates, something like this would be College Confidential (or it was, when I was applying six years ago). Visa Journey is primarily focused on discussions about the visa process, not university shopping, so you might not find the kind of comprehensive advice you're seeking -- especially since we know nothing about your educational background, resume, etc. (again, this is probably not the best place to be discussing this stuff).

Lastly, I'd widen your net to universities in other countries. There are excellent institutions in countries that are not the USA that are cheaper to attend and easier to get a visa for. Why do you need an American degree? You might get a good, if not better, education elsewhere, given your financial constraints. Good universities in the USA are not cheap and MA programs rarely, if ever, provide financial aid to foreign nationals.

Can a friend give his childhood friend an invite to come USA for a vacation

of course, I have invited my brother over this year.

Yes. You will need to apply for a tourist visa to visit a friend in the U.S.

 

I have an IR-1 visa (not a student visa), but am currently completing my Master's degree at a U.S. university. If you are serious about attending school in the U.S., I would suggest 1) researching schools and programs that interest you, 2) narrowing the list down to your top 3-5 choices, 3) confirming that your prospective schools sponsor student visas, 4) ensuring you meet admission requirements for your prospective schools, and 5) applying to the schools. Only once you are accepted to a school can you enroll and subsequently apply for a visa.

 

As others have stated, acquiring a student visa requires you to show that you have the financial means to support living and attending school in the U.S. -- and school is VERY expensive here (my grad school tuition is approximately $30,000 per year + living expenses, commuting expenses, textbooks, equipment, etc.). Countries such as Canada and the UK also have excellent graduate programs that are often much cheaper.
