This bill proposes to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit the admission of Chinese nationals as nonimmigrant students. Specifically, it would prevent individuals who are nationals of the People's Republic of China from being issued F, J, or M visas, which are typically granted for academic and exchange programs. The prohibition would apply to those seeking to enter the United States for the purpose of conducting research or pursuing a course of study . This legislative change aims to restrict academic and research-related nonimmigrant statuses for Chinese citizens by adding a new subsection to Section 214 of the Act.
