Bill Summary
A bill to provide greater scrutiny of visas for Chinese Communist Party members.
AI Summary
This bill, the CCP Visa Ban Act of 2022, aims to provide greater scrutiny of visas for members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The key provisions are:
1) Amending the Immigration and Nationality Act to make CCP members inadmissible and ineligible for certain nonimmigrant (B-1/B-2) visas.
2) Requiring the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to deny visa extension applications through the Electronic Visa Update System if the applicant is determined to be a CCP member.
3) Authorizing the cancellation of existing nonimmigrant (B-1/B-2) visas issued to CCP members, with the sole legal remedy being to submit a new visa application.
The goal of this bill is to increase scrutiny and restrict the entry of CCP members into the United States.
