we recently had out first Kid in the US. both of us are Indian citizens and are contemplating whether to go for US citizenship or Indian for our kid. our near long term plan (5-7 years) is to move back to India. Given that there are no attractive benefits of being a US citizen like free or subsidised health care, education ( like some european countries or canada) is it worth getting a US citizenship? also the attitude towards immigrants is turning hostile each year. as parents we dont have hope getting a GC anytime soon given the backlog.
my thought so far is to go for indian citzenship given the lack of benefits of being a US citizen especially when we are in India. also dont want to bother with all US paperwork for kid when we are not in the US.
hqve any of you been in a similar situation? if so, can u share ur thoughts.

While I agree that there aren't huge education or medical advantages for citizens, the right to work at all times is worth it. I am on the H1B and the uncertainty and stress are a big mental burden to work with.
Since the child is born in USA, they can switch over to a USA passport at any point later in life.
Although as someone else said on this thread, USA passport has more travel freedom globally. Your cold wouldn't need to apply for as many travel visas to international destinations.
Nothing personal against you, but I feel like information like this confuses 1st gen parents who didn’t go to school here but trying to make decisions for their kids in long term. And hence I am trying to point out to the right information.
You must’ve gone to school in California, most of them are 1 yr residency
