Stop CCP VISAs Act of 2025

This bill would change U.S. immigration law to block people from the People’s Republic of China from getting student or exchange visas to study or do research in the United States. It says Chinese nationals may not be issued, or otherwise given, F, J, or M nonimmigrant status for study or research purposes.

What this means in everyday life: colleges, universities, and research programs in the U.S. would not be able to enroll new students or visiting scholars from China under those visa categories. The text focuses on issuing visas and granting that status; it does not describe exceptions or an effective date.

Key points

• Who is affected: Nationals of the People’s Republic of China; U.S. schools and research programs that host international students and scholars.
• What changes: No F, J, or M visas or status for study or research for Chinese nationals.
• When: The bill text does not specify timing or an effective date.
