Indian Citizenship and Passport for US Born baby to Indian Parents

[richiericharrds77]

Hi,

I am an Indian Citizen working with H1B Visa in US. My wife is on H4 Visa. We do not have any intention to settle / stay back here in USA permanently.

We are expecting a baby in the month of October 2011. I want my child to have an Indian citizenship. Please let me know how I can get Indian citizenship for a baby born in USA.
Request you to answer my following five questions:

1. Can we get an Indian passport for the baby if he/she is born in the US or only US Passport?
2. If we can get Indian passport, does he/she need to obtain a visa for our rest our stay in US?
3. If we can get only US Passport, shall I provide the Indian address as permanent address in the US passport application?
4. If a child has Indian Passport with the place of birth in USA in the passport will there be any immigration issues in USA.
5. If a child has Indian Passport, is he or she an Indian citizen?

I am totally confused and worried about the next steps. Request your advice and suggestions.

Thank you in advance.

If your child is born in the US. he/she automatically becomes a US citizen. India does not allow Dual Citizenship , but grants Overseas Citizenship Of India.
