Wants IndianCitizenship for US born infant with eligibility to make US-India trips

[ni34]

Hello ,

We(Indian Citizens) would like to get a Indian citizenship for our infant born in US, I read a thread where user 'tomtam' in 2007-2008 described possible issues which one might face when a US born kid with indian citizenship makes US-India roundtrips.

But since it is in 2008 , Does someone knows what is the rule/law now, Does US consulate stamp VISA on Indian passport for a US born kid.
What are the possible options for me to make US - India trips with a US born kid with Indian citizenship

I would like to go for Indian citizenship for my kid because I am on H1 visa and my stay in US is not guaranteed for long.

Thank you all

I assume the issues that you are suggesting are obtaining visas etc for the US, right? See the second reply in the thread below...it will give you the best response

"The baby will NOT get a US visa because the baby is and will remain a US citizen until he decides when he turns 18 whether he wants to remain a US citizen or not. You have no choice but to get him a US passport and an Indian visa, PIO or OCI. When he turns 18, he can choose to renounce US citizenship and get Indian citizenship in India, after which he will have to qualify for a US visa just like all non-citizens. The fact that he renounced US citizenship will most likely be a good indication that he is does not have immigrant intent.

Many register the child at the Indian embassy or consulate, get it a passport, and then get a US passport. This is illegal, but you might not get caught. You can fly to India, where the child will most likely be treated as an Indian citizen, and as long as he goes abroad via a third country where both Indians and Americans don't need a visa, he could get away with it. This is NOT AT ALL RECOMMENDED." - Posted by Cafeconleche

So your best bet is to get the birth registered at the Indian embassy soon, get the kid a US passport, and apply for OCI. Then the kid has an option to decide at age 18 where he want to pledge his allegiance. Until then, he's American it seems
