Hello my name is sara and i am new to this message board and i need help. I am an american citizen and i am engaged to an indian citizen and we want to get married and live in india. But i have no idea on how to get or if there is even a fiancee visa for india. I would also like to know if i would have to give up my american citizenship to live in india. If there is anyone that can help me and my fiancee out it would be greatly appericated :)

Thanks Again, Sara
 
You should call the Indian consulate at chicago and ask them what visa you should use to stay in India after you get married. You shouldn't have to give up your US citizenship to stay in India.

Although no specific visa is listed on the consulate websites, I am sure there won't be a problem. As an example, Sonia Gandhi, an Italian citizen stayed in India for 15 years before acquiring Indian citizenship. Of course, if you happen to be of Indian origin (any one of your ancestors upto your great grandparents were Indian), you can apply for the PIO card (15 yr visa) or overseas citizenship.

If you marry an Indian citizen, you can apply for Indian citizenship after 5 years.

do DCF in india

if you are going to live in india, why dont you just get married over there, and do a Direct Consular Filing in Delhi. Why bother with ucsis here with all their laughable backlogs. You can file a 1-130 for him directly and Delhi will adjudicate it. I believe its as good as a green card, and you dont have to mess with immigration in usa at all, until he comes over and wants to adjust status.
