I will echo with Veni. Tourist visa is ok. But PIO is better and citizenship is best. But unless you and your wife are citizens they are not going to give the kids Indian citizenship.

Q
PIO card has nothing to do with citizenship . It is just like tourist visa but has some difference which I didnt dig in to it . In a situation if a PIO card holder wants to stay beyond 6 months , he/she has to report to the local police station for clearance ( by law)
Though all the NRI s' refer it as dual citizenship , in reality India has no option of dual citizenship . Any PIO or OCI card holder cannot obtain a Indian Passport , cannot stay beyond 6 months without notice, cannot vote or buy land or property . But they can inherit the ancestoral properties.
Dual citizenship in other countries really mean dual citizenship, for example Canadians can hold number of passports . travel with a USA passport to enter USA and with Canadian passport to go back home .
Kanmani,
As Q pointed above to be eligible for OCI, one of the parents must be US Citizen or the applicant must me 18 years or older, applicant parents/grandparents held INDIAN citizenship (current/past).
One with OCI can stay as long as he/she wish and is not required to report to local police station, but not with PIO.
Not a Legal advice/opinion, please check with good immigration attorney.
Right. .... additionally - both PIO and OCI can be considered Indian persons when applying to educational institutes. I am 100% sure OCI can buy property. 90% confident that PIOs can too buy property.

Ministry of Homeland affairs website says both cannot acquire agaricultural/ plantation lands . I doubt on residential properties.

There you go from teh same document. Partity everywhere except in Political field and buying agri land.
Parity with NRIs in respect of all facilities available to the later in the economic, financial and educational fields
except in maters relating to the acquisition of agricultural/ plantation properties.
No parity shall be allowed in the sphere of political rights.

@RMS_V13 I see your point of no benefit thru the petition but allow me to flip the question on you.
Do you think this (or any similar) petition can cause any harm to our cause of reducing the GC backlogs and wait times?
The most hated woman in China came to USA last year and she is working in a nail salon in NYC. She already got her green card through refugee path. Many talented Phds are still waiting after ten years in USA. What a joke!

This % limit based on country-of-birth looks like the reservation quota in India. There is reservation everywhere whether it be for admissions to school/colleges or jobs. I think it needs to be abolished as well. It should be purely based on merits and not on caste/religion/etc. But instead of abolishing people want more and more reservation. May be someone like Annaji can do something about it.
seriously man. what a joke. I am at loss of words.
You appear to be quite an interesting character.
No offense! (in good spirits for consistent ranting)
Interesting...let me marry her. I am suitable and I will get out of this GC cycle and blood sucking bosses at least.
bhaiya, joke tau hamara ban gava.
usually women become most hated after marriage... voilaa... u r lucky... u r marrying a woman who is already the most hated...
waise... what do you self coach in? just wondering ;-)
yeah, I just feel the current system is not fair to EB immigrants. Sorry for ranting.
LOL ! Think 1000 times before you decide to marry her...pehele USCIS ke nakhare sehene pade......phir iske nakhare sehen karne padenge ( you will get rid of one trouble but will invite another trouble)
So, the easiest way to GC is to become the most hated person in your country...hmmm...interesting..Wonder what I would have to do to go that path ???? LOL!!!
I self coach in the sainthood of giggityness :P
Q - sorry boss for a 'slight' diviation to subject (dont boot me pls)!

3. Want to get GC --> Done
4. Status is/will be current --> Done come Oct 01
5. Most hated --> hmm...abb ye toh woh baat ho gayi na... You have to try very very hard to be hated dear... i see no chance for you to get qualified on this merit...
Final result --> Let me see.... i am using specs complicated algorithm here....Voilaaaa....you will still be getting your GC next month... because love > hate.... samjhe kung phuu panda ....

Please sign this petition
Fix Admin Processing

Will sign it. But for folks who live in and around the DC area, how about making an appointment with the CIS ombudsman and explain him the situation. Meanwhile we should continue to write to senators/ representatives.
Humne sign kar diya hei Manubhai. What's the time frame for this to pass?
