“The shift in US birthright citizenship policy, where children of immigrants may no longer automatically gain citizenship, could prompt many to rethink their future plans. Some might consider returning to India or investing in NRI properties as a long-term strategy. The model of earning abroad but eventually returning and settling in India might resonate more strongly among H1-B holders and other immigrant communities due to this change. Although there are options for faster green card processing through EB-1 visas, which extend benefits to spouses and children, this remains a pathway for select individuals. However, one should also be cognizant that property investment decisions are also influenced by factors such as value appreciation potential and tax advantages in a country. Given these considerations, the full effects of this policy shift can only be understood as time unfolds.”
