  1. He can go for either.

  2. If he gets US passport then he needs to apply for PIO or visa stamp. PIO if preferred

  3. Surrender US passport and get an Indian passport

Thanks Saurabh for reply, I have few doubts

  2. What ur suggestion should we go for indian passport or US passport

What you can do is have US passport and get Indian visa stamp or PIO for your son. Then keep it as it allows easy travel b/w US and India. PIO rules have been relaxed in last 1 year and you can get it for a longer term (don’t remember if it is 10, 15 or 20 years). Having US passport makes it easy to travel not just to US but several other countries (will save getting visa for him to those countries).

For this reason I went for US passport when my son was born.
