S 1086 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Stop CCP VISAs Act of 2025

This bill (S 1086, "Stop CCP VISAs Act of 2025") would prohibit U.S. visa issuances for Chinese nationals seeking to study or conduct research in the United States under student (F), exchange visitor (J), or vocational (M) visa categories. It directly affects Chinese citizens planning to pursue academic or research programs at U.S. institutions. The key mechanism amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to explicitly ban these visa types for Chinese nationals, preventing them from using these categories for educational or research purposes. If enacted, this would block Chinese nationals from entering the U.S. for academic or research activities via these specific visa pathways.
