Please kindly answer if anyone can help regarding this matter.

My mom came to India with her 3 children (I am the eldest) 12 years ago, due to unavoidable reasons. At that point the situation was such that she couldn’t think properly and do the correct thing, the only priority was to bring us to India (to my paternal grandparents house, which is originally here).

Due to misinformation and wrong guidance, many mistakes were made, the biggest being not surrendering the passport. Time went by and there was a need to go to Bangladesh to meet her parents.

The only way was to make an Indian passport. Please understand we did not have any correct information and we knew that there was no proper way to get Indian citizenship.

Also my Dads family lives in India. Our dad's actual home is in India but we were born in Bangladesh. We got the Indian passport and travelled to Bangladesh with it.

After a few years it was caught in the airport and the passports of all 4 of us got revoked. Now we are asking for help, but everyone is saying nothing can be done. We can never get citizenship or passport.

Years have passed (12 years), and I wish to go abroad for studies, so do my siblings, but it seems like we will never be able to do anything about this.

PLEASE KINDLY SHARE ANY ADVICE THAT COULD HELP US IN THIS SITUATION.

  • When you asked people were that just people or people who studied law and specialized in immigration problems?

    Talk to an immigration lawyer that's familiar with Indian and Bangladeshi rules. This is too complicated for strangers on the Internet. Chances are a lot of the "mistakes" will need to be undone, but only a skilled lawyer looking at all your details can help with that

  • P.S. We are bengali Hindus. Our Paternal house is in Kolkata India. But as some of you may be aware, before partition this issue did not exist and some families had houses in both east and west bengal. During 1971 war Bangladeshi Hindus could come to India but unfortunately, due to various financial and familial reasons some people like my father had to stay in bangladesh.

You are in a very difficult situation but here is only ONE thing you should be doing now:

Talk to an immigration lawyer that's familiar with Indian and Bangladeshi rules. This is way too complicated and dangerous for strangers on the Internet. Chances are a lot of the "mistakes" will need to be undone, but only a skilled lawyer looking at all your details can help with that .

DO NOT DO ANYTHING before you have consulted with a lawyer. The worst thing that you can do at the moment is making more "mistakes". Only a lawyer can assess this for your specific situation.

Listening to advise from strangers on the Internet is likely to make it worse.
