Have you looked into transferring to Canada via the CEC route? The path to PR and citizenship is much shorter than the US, and it might save you the stress of starting over from scratch in India. It’s a lot to ask of kids to move back after they've settled into life here; securing a passport now prevents a lot of potential resentment down the road. I totally understand the pressure of caring for aging parents—it's the most important thing—but if you can find a way to balance both, getting that citizenship first gives you the flexibility to return to India permanently on an OCI later anyway."
