I hope it stays around long enough for you. Already the Congress government watered down the initial proposal, which was to grant full dual citizenship (i.e. the ability to have two passports). @Roshni You never know about the OCI.

But if you put a gun to my head and forced me to answer it, I'd say - wait till you get your citizenship. There are two reasons I say this: 1. I'm a big believer in everyone in the family having the same citizenship. In today's world of geopolitical tensions, you never want a situation where some in your family can travel, while others cant, depending on their passports. If your kids are US citizens, you should be citizens too. 2. Between the pain of getting a 10-year old to adjust to India, and the double-guessing that can creep in without that American citizenship, I'd bet on trying to get my 10 year-old to cope. There are no easy answers here, but that's my take on it. @Foo

Sure, but would you wait for your USC for another 5 years (and your kids become 10+) ?
