Hello,
I and my wife are both Indian citizens currently in the USA and hold valid greencards. Our son was born in the USA and holds a US passport. He has a valid PIO card. He traveled to India with us on November 29, 2006 and stayed back with his grandparents even as my wife and I returned in Jan 2007. He has tickets to come back to the USA on June 22, 2007 along with his grandparents. I was told initially that he does not need to register even though he stays over 180 days since he is under 12 years. Now, I am not so sure. I hear that he needs to register with the local Foreigner Registration Office. Is this true? What exactly does he need to apply for? I am worried since he has only 10 more days to go to catch the flight. Has anybody been in a similar situation? Can you please please respond? He is in Hyderabad, India currently.
I do very much appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Mohan
