I am in L1 A visa. My wife is in L2 visa.
Our first daughter born in India & she too have L2 visa. We all are in USA for last 2.5 years. We have applied for Green Card through my corporate in EB1 category. May get the GC in 1 year.
My wife is giving birth to our second daughter in USA in Sep 2017. Could you please clarify my below queries with respect to citizenship of my expectant second
daughter.
Case 1:
My second daughter is getting born in USA, getting a US passport + OCI Card for India entries. If I settle back in India after 2-3 years from USA,
i) Can my second daughter apply for Indian passport by renouncing the US passport even before her 18 years of age ? or do she need to wait till her 18 years of age
for applying Indian passport in India as NRI paying higher educational fees.
ii) What are the other drawbacks (like applying for Indian government institutions, etc) if she is in India with US passport + OCI Card ?
Case 2:
If my new born second daughter is getting an Indian passport at Indian Consulate, USA after getting born in USA,
i) should she apply for a US L2 visa ? Will the US government issue US visa for a child born in USA with an Indian passport ?
ii) If she settle back in India after 2-3 years in USA with an Indian passport, should she get a US visa to return back to USA if required ? Please clarify.
General query:
Which card (OCI or PIO) should I take for a US born Indian child if she is applying for a US passport?
