  • Renunciation of Indian passport or get the US passport first?

    I just completed the naturalization process and need to apply for US passport and renunciate Indian citizenship. However, I am getting conflicting information from various websites on Indian passport renunciation.
    One site says "Be a holder of valid U.S. passport or other foreign passport" as eligibility for renunciating Indian passport. That seems to be in agreement with VFS document checklist:
    "PHOTOCOPY OF US/NON-US PASSPORT"

    On immihelp it says: " you must surrender the Indian passport within 90 days of U.S. naturalization (or becoming a citizen of another country), even if the foreign passport is obtained later."

    So, which one is it? (1) Should I start the renunciation process before getting the US passport? (2) If US passport is needed, what if it takes more than 90 days for the US passport to arrive?

    Thanks!

    You need us pp to renounce indian citizenship. The penalty is $250 if you don't surrender within 3 years of becoming US citizen.

      Get US passport first and then renounce the Indian citizenship.
