Hi,
We are planning to go for Surrogate mother treatment in India as it is less expensive over there. We got our Green cards in USA one year back.
I have few questions on this issue
a) Can we bring the baby here if the process is successful? I heard we can bring if the baby is less than two years old but my question is can we bring the baby here if we had the baby through surrogate process
b) Do we need to apply for any Visa in Indian Consulate? I got the below info from the below website but I am not understanding clearly
c) How can we apply green card after we arrive here? Do we need to initiate or submit any papers once the process is successful?
I will appreciate if I get any legal advice on this issue
