Overstay In India
I am an Indian citizen. My wife and I went to USA on an H-1B visa in 2000. We were blessed with a baby girl during our stay and she has an American passport. I returned to India in 2006 for personal reasons. We obtained an Indian visa for my daughter. Since then we have not been back to USA but recently renewed her passport at the American Consulate at Hyderabad.
This summer we want to take a trip to USA. Since my daughter has overstayed in India will there be any problem for her when returning to India, or will she be detained while going out of India?
Note: Neither she nor I are interested in obtaining an Indian passport for her.

Did you not get her a PIO or an OCI document, and would you consider getting one now?

I got to know about pio card about an year ago, but it was late as the scheme was cancelled. When I approached for the OCI card the authorities told me she is not eligible as she doesnt have a valid visa as of now.

Getting a passport is not the same as getting or gettting proof of citizenship. If your daughter spends more time in India than in the USA, you should look into whether she is Indian citizen through you even though you have never applied for a passport.

(My answer is based on your daughter being an American citizen with an Indian Visa. That is what I understood from your question, if I am mistaken please correct me.) Hello, over-staying your visa in India, like most countries, is a crime. It is punishable most commonly by a fine and the costs to apply for an extension, but by law they can detain, imprison, and deport you. Now as far as being stopped when leaving the country, it would most likely be to pay the fines associated with over-staying, as you are already leaving the country odds are they wont detain you. Returning back to India will require her to obtain a new visa, or an extension on the current one. I hope that this helped you and good luck. I forgot to add, that depending on what kind of visa she has, she will actually have to leave India and apply for the extension back in the USA. You can try to mail it out through a friend outside of the country, but it is not recommended.

To apply for an OCI the person must have been a citizen of India at one point, unless they are a minor who's parents are citizens of India. In this case, the minor was born in America and has never been a citizen of India, but both parents are citizens. So I would say that the minor could apply for OCI.

There are too many factors at play for me to give you an accurate answer. I try to stay away from giving my opinion as opposed to facts, but as long as nothing major has changed in your daughters life, past, background, legal history, other than the overstay, I don't think there will be a problem. Now keep in mind that this is my opinion. Good luck.

Did you not get her a PIO or an OCI document, and would you consider getting one now?

I got to know about pio card about an year ago, but it was late as the scheme was cancelled. When I approached for the OCI card the authorities told me she is not eligible as she doesnt have a valid visa as of now.

Getting a passport is not the same as getting or gettting proof of citizenship. If your daughter spends more time in India than in the USA, you should look into whether she is Indian citizen through you even though you have never applied for a passport.
