The Tibet action comes under a 2018 law passed by Congress that aims to pressure China over its tight restrictions in the Himalayan region.
Beijing says its troops"peacefully liberated" Tibet in 1951, but many Tibetans accuse the central government of religious repression and eroding their culture.
By contrast, the law notes that Chinese nationals admitted to the United States face no restrictions on visiting any part of the country."The US is sending Beijing a clear message that it will face consequences for its human rights abuses and continued isolation of Tibet from the outside world," said the group's president, Matteo Mecacci.
"But international pressure on the Chinese government to open up Tibet to the outside world is a vital step toward bringing justice and human rights back to Tibet."
