I became a US citizen last year and may be getting married in India later this year. My wife-to-be is an Indian citizen. Is there any special paperwork needed in order to register the marriage in India (given that I am no longer an Indian citizen) ?
I am also planning to split my time between India and the US (spending most of my time in India) until my future wife's K3 visa is approved. As I understand it this process could end up taking a year or more. Now if we she were to get pregnant in the meantime and the child was born in India - what then ? I know that the child automatically inherits US citizenship but does he/she have to enter the US first as a permanent resident (which could mean another long-drawn K4 visa process) ? Or can we directly apply for his/her US passport in India ?
I would appreciate it if someone could shed some light here.
Thanks,
KM
