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 could not be issued, or given, F, J, or M nonimmigrant status for school, research, or vocational study.

In plain terms, it creates a country-wide ban on new student and exchange visas for Chinese citizens. The text does not describe exceptions or other details.

Key points

• Who is affected: Chinese nationals seeking F, J, or M visas (or that status) for study, research, or vocational programs in the U.S.
• What changes: These visas or status would no longer be issued or granted to Chinese nationals for those purposes
• Likely impact: Fewer Chinese students and researchers at U.S. schools and labs; campuses and local communities may see fewer international students from China
• When: The bill text does not specify dates beyond proposing this change to existing law
