The July 2025 Visa Bulletin shows slight but hopeful progress for Indian green card applicants. India’s EB-3 Final Action Date advanced slightly, moving forward by one week to April 22, 2013. EB-5 dates remain static for India.
In family-sponsored categories, notable progress includes:
- F2A: Jumped to Sept 1, 2022 (from Jan 1)
- F4: Advanced to July 8, 2006
- F1: Moved to July 15, 2016
- F2B: Now Oct 15, 2016
- F3: Updated to Aug 1, 2011
USCIS is expected to announce shortly whether applicants should use the Final Action Dates or Dates for Filing to submit their green card applications. These modest changes bring renewed hope amid ongoing green card delays.
