US born kid's educational expenses in India

Education Expenses

Hi Leo,

Congrats on the new arrival. I do not think you have to worry if your child is born here. In India, there is no separate fee for NRI chldren. All Indian schools will charge the same that they charge for Indian kids. If you choose to send your child to one of the International schools run by American/British concerns, then the fees will be in Dollars. I was looking into this for both my kids ( we are planning to move next year) . So not to worry and have a safe and healthy pregnancy.

Oh and if you do decide to have your child here, you can apply for the dual citizen ship with the Indian embassy. You will get that within three months and then there should be no problems at all.

Re: Education Expenses

Hi,

I heard that the dual citizenship is not available now. Different people are giving different opinions.

Kindly clarify if my son who was born in US (2005) is elegible for OCI/Indian Citizenship/Indian Passport.

Thank you for you help

hi Jebafranklin,

What we get now is OCI-overseas citizen of India, which is not Dual citizenship. Us and India do not allow DC.
If your child was born in 2005 you can get OCI only if either one of the parents is a citizen of America.

Check out this website India Consulate New York, USA Indian Visa Passport information. or you can check out any other consulates of India websites in other cities.

Hi all,

I read this thread and would like to post my queries here.

We live here in US for last 7yrs. Now we'd like to relocate to India. So as a first step we sent our first son to India who is living with my parents. For his school admission he is being asked for 'community certificate'. I should mention that my son is born in US and has a US passport/PIO card.

How to get community certificate for my son born in US? My community certificate which I got in my childhood has details about my B'day and birthplace in India.

Has anybody gone thro' this situation

Please help

 

hi imaya.. just wanted to know how did you obtain community certificate for your child, as we believe we will face the same situation if our child is born here in usa. we are yet to decide whether to give birth here in usa or in india. what will be your suggestion as you have faced the same problem. your reply will be a timely help. please respond.

 

Hi Leo,

I hope yiu and your family are good. I am in USA on H1 visa with my wife here. We are expecting our baby to born in early 2014.

I have gone thorugh many forums/articles on internet on pros & cons of having baby born in USA to indian parent. We dont have long term plan for USA and will return back to India in 2-3 years.

I have many question throgh which you might have already gone though regarding

(1) citizenship of my kid
(2) His future schooling and college education in India
(3) his opportunity for employment in India
(4) obtain US PP or Indian PP for child after birth in USA
and etc etc.

Please let me know your experience with this situation. We still have time to decide birth place for our baby.

Your help would be highly appreciated.

Awaiting your reply.

Thanks,
Nishant
