How long did the Chinese Exclusion Act last in the U.S.?

The 1882 law, the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was enacted to preserve jobs for native-born Americans, suspended Chinese immigration to the U.S. for ten years.

Renewed from time to time in the 20th century, it was completely suspended in 1965.
