Moving back to India - Kids born in US status

[burlyboy]

Hi Guys,

I have a situation here and would like you guys' opinion.... I have a kid born in the US and my wife and I are greencard holders. We have to move back to India for good for personal reasons. I have heard rumours that my kid will have to study in Indian schools as an NRI which costs a fortune... I am a bit worried about this situation and any suggestions from you all will be greatly appreciated.

Please help....

Thanks,
Satish

Nothing like that at the school level. There are lot of parents with US born kids in India and there is no discrimination at school levels. Ofcourse, if you are in a big city, there is lot of donation required irrespective of US born or not.

At college level (for higher studies, engineering, medicine etc) I think they charge more, but you can claim domicile status if you have lived there long enough (different states have different domicile rules in terms of years required). So, It should not be a problem. This is my personal opinion.

yes there is NRI donation

yes NRI donation is much higher even for a 2nd grader... i have my bro-in-law who paid large sum in Pune, India to get his daughter in a good school...
