Travel Advisory: Chinese Nationals
The Department of State announced on May 28, 2025 that it intends to cancel student visas for nationals from China with ties to the Chinese communist party and/or in critical fields.
The Department of State has not provided specific guidance on the implementation of these measures as of May 29, 2025. The Center for Immigration Services & Support (ISS) will continue to closely monitor the situation and will update students and faculty on any developments.
Out of an abundance of caution, ISS recommends that Chinese Nationals on non-immigrant visas avoid all nonessential international travel at this time:
- For non-immigrants already outside of the U.S. who have valid visas, we recommend returning to the U.S. as soon as possible before the implementation of any visa cancellations.
- For non-immigrants with scheduled visa appointments, we recommend attending your scheduled visa appointments, unless instructed otherwise by the Consulate.
If you have any additional questions or need of assistance, email iss@wfu.edu.
