US July Visa Bulletin: Advances for Indian Green Card Seekers

The U.S. Department of State released the July 2025 Visa Bulletin, which details how long people must wait to get a green card.

This bulletin is especially important for people from India.

In July, there were some improvements: The wait times for family-based and employment-based green cards are getting shorter.

This means people are getting their applications processed faster.

The most significant change was for spouses and children of permanent residents, which saw an eight-month jump.

Employment-based categories also saw slight gains.

The bulletin helps applicants understand when they can submit their applications and when they might receive their green cards.
