Can a non US citizen without a US visa land in a US airport, in order to get on a connecting flight to somewhere outside of the US?

I am trying to meet my friend who is from India. Jamaica is one destination both US and Indian Citizens can go without a visa. Her flight would be from New Delhi to Kingston, Jamaica. In order for her to make this journey, she will need to get on a connecting flight. the quickest option is to land in JFK airport, and then catch a flight to Jamaica. She does not have a US visa. Is she allowed to land in the US strictly for the purpose of catching a connecting flight to Jamaica? If not, how could she become eligible?

    Your friend would need a Tourist Visa or Transit Visa.

    they will most likely need a C1 transit visa depending on their nationality. They need to contact their local US embassy.
