Due to the escalation of the confrontation between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, Communist Party members may be asked whether they are Communist Party members when applying for US visas, changing status, applying for green cards or naturalization. Immigration lawyers reminded that they must answer carefully. The Global Quitting Party Service Center stated that the quitting certificate issued by them can be recognized by the US authorities.
New York immigration lawyer Ran Yanfei stated on a community forum on July 30 that the United States has tightened its immigration policy, especially the Trump administration’s plan to ban Chinese Communists and their families from entering the country, putting Chinese in a dilemma.
As a result of Trump’s series of administrative orders, Chinese people will be asked if they “have ever joined the Communist Party” when applying for travel visas, changing status, applying for green cards or naturalization.
Ran Yanfei said that if the interviewee has joined the Communist Party, whether the answer is "yes" or "no," it is not the correct answer. If the answer is "yes", the application may be directly rejected; if the answer is "no", the current information is spreading rapidly, the immigration officer may soon discover that the applicant is lying, and the applicant may be charged with immigration fraud.
However, Yan Yanfei added that if the applicant truthfully answered that he had joined the Communist Party, and then proved that he was younger than 16 years old when he joined the Party, and that he joined the Communist Party for no reason of belief, but only for higher education or promotion, the immigrants may also be exempted and approved.
Lawyer Liu Ruhua said that whether or not he has joined the Communist Party has always been one of the interview questions for immigration officers, but in the past, the immigration bureau generally did not investigate it deeply. Applicants who answered negatively can often pass. But under the current situation, the immigration officer may strictly investigate the applicant's answer.
Chen Chi, a former immigration officer who hosted the forum, reminded the public that if the interviewee lied in the immigration application, not only his immigration visa will be revoked, but the relatives who applied for him will also be implicated.
Earlier, The Epoch Times also quoted New York human rights lawyer Ye Ning as saying that if an applicant can prove that he has joined the Communist Party involuntarily, or can prove that he has resigned from the Party before a certain number of years of application, he will not be subject to Trump's ban as punishment.
In mid-July, after The New York Times reported that the Trump administration was considering a total ban on the entry of Chinese Communist Party members, military personnel and their families, searches on Google for "quitting the party" soared. Yi Rong, chairman of the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP in the United States, revealed that after the news was released, the number of Chinese who went to the Service Center for Quitting the CCP to declare their withdrawal from the CCP increased significantly.
The Global Quitting Party Service Center provides free services for Chinese people around the world to declare their withdrawal from the Communist Party of China, the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers, and can issue a quit certificate. The CCP withdrawal certificate issued by the CCP has been recognized by the US authorities and can be used to prove to immigration officials that he has quit the Communist Party.
