Bill > HR2147

This bill, known as the "Stop CCP VISAs Act of 2025", proposes to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit Chinese nationals from entering the United States as nonimmigrant students. Specifically, the bill would prevent Chinese citizens from obtaining student visas (typically F, J, or M visas) that would allow them to conduct research or pursue academic studies in the United States. The legislation appears to be motivated by concerns about intellectual property protection and potential espionage risks, as suggested by the bill's full title, which references stopping "Communist Prying" and "Intellectual Safeguards in Academia". The proposed amendment would effectively create a blanket ban on Chinese students seeking to study or conduct research in the U.S., representing a significant restriction on educational and research opportunities for Chinese nationals. This bill would represent a substantial change in U.S. immigration policy specifically targeting students from China.
