Myself and my family are Green Card holders effective April 1st 2002. My son is 17 years old and will complete 18 years on 13th Dec 2007. He plans to go to India for college education this summer after getting reentry permit from INS.
Myself and my wife have started naturalization process. I understand that if we become naturalized citizens before he turns 18, he becomes a citizen automatically. In that case, what would be his status during his stay in India ? Can he apply for U.S. passport at U.S Consulate in India ?
Also, if myself and my wife become citizens after he turns 18, since he will be in India, how and when can he file for his naturalization/citizenship ? Are there any issues for his filing naturalization/citizenship during his stay in India ?
I will greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.
