This bill requires an applicant for an F, J, or M (student or exchange visitor) visa to disclose in the application certain information about whether the applicant has received or will receive funds from the Chinese government, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), or an entity controlled by either. If an individual receives such funds after receiving such a visa, the individual must inform the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State.

Any visa issued to an alien who violates these disclosure requirements may be revoked.

The purpose of this bill is to require the Secretary of State to submit a report to Congress detailing the number of visas issued to individuals affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and their immediate family members.

The bill aims to increase transparency and accountability in the visa issuance process by requiring the State Department to provide information on the number of visas issued to CCP-affiliated individuals, as well as the type of visas issued and the countries to which they were issued.
