Legislation Details

The legislation aims to make members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and their family members ineligible for F or J visas.
It defines “family member” to include spouses, children, parents, siblings, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews of CCP members.
The ineligibility applies to individuals who are members of the CCP as of the date of enactment or at any time thereafter.
An exception is included for individuals whose admission is necessary for the United States to comply with the United Nations Headquarters Agreement and other international obligations.
The President or a designee can waive the ineligibility if it is certified in writing that the waiver is in the national security interest of the United States.
