Thanks for the advises.
Her mother is here in US and she is on H4.Yes the kid is born here in
these 2 years.
I have seen many people(parents applying for US citizenship and the
reason they give is because kids are US citizens and they are Indians.
I wanted to know what will happen if I DO NOT apply for citizenship
because I am taking my kid to IND.
thanks
