It's not about the amount of time you spend in the US. And the friend is NOT spending 5 weeks in the US.

There is no such limitation on transit, even in the case of a C visa. As long as you have an itinerary that makes sense and don’t do anything else than go from entry to exit, it’s still transit.

@jcaron actually you can do incidental things such as go shopping or even see friends as long as you do that truly incidentally to your transit. For example, if you have a transit visa but your departing flight leaves JFK 23 hours after you arrive there, you are allowed to visit Manhattan. Doc: the claim that transit means leaving from a nearby airport is not consistent with the fact that transit under a transit visa can last for up to 29 days.
