The Stop CCP VISAs Act of 2025 would prohibit Chinese nationals from obtaining student visas to study or conduct research at U.S. institutions. The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to ban admission of People's Republic of China nationals in three visa categories commonly used by international students and scholars: F-1 visas (academic students), J-1 visas (exchange visitors), and M-1 visas (vocational students). This change would affect thousands of Chinese students currently enrolled or seeking enrollment in American universities and research institutions. The bill contains no specified funding amounts or implementation timeline beyond its introduction in March 2025, and it was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee for consideration.
