US Visa Bulletin December 2025: Reopening of Visa Processing for Priests and Steady Advancement for Indian Applicants

The U.S. government has released a new list called the Visa Bulletin for December 2025.

This list helps people who want to come to the U.S. to work or join their families know when their turn might come.

Good news for some religious workers like priests, because their visa category, which was paused, is now open again.

Their waiting time has moved to September 1, 2020.

The list also shows that people from India who are waiting for job visas are moving a little faster.

For example, some highly skilled workers have moved from February to March of 2022.

Others with advanced degrees or in skilled jobs have also seen their waiting times get shorter by a few months.

Even a family visa category for Indians has advanced by one month.

This bulletin tells everyone where they are in the line for their visa.
