Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Does time stop permanently at the event horizon?

Forgive me if this sounds dumb as I'm new to physics.
A lot of people say time stops or almost stops at the event horizon. If that's the case, then if it was possible to spend billions of years observing an object falling into a black hole then when it appears to stop at the event horizon, would that object remain visible there even after the black hole had evaporated billions of years later, and thus the image of the object never disappear? Would time be forever frozen at the event horizon or at the location of the event horizon after the BH had gone?
If not because space time curvature returns to normal after the BH has gone then what happens to the object that appears to have stoped at the former event horizon?
