I may be wrong, but if I understand your situation correctly, since you were physically present in the US for 5 years prior to the child’s birth (2 years after age 14), your child is already a US citizen ar birth. You need to contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) to document that the child is a U.S. citizen. If the U.S. embassy or consulate determines that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, a consular officer will approve the CRBA application and the Department of State will issue a CRBA, also called a Form FS-240, in the child’s name.

According to U.S. law, a CRBA is proof of U.S. citizenship and may be used to obtain a U.S. passport and register for school, among other purposes.

The child’s parents may choose to apply for a U.S. passport for the child at the same time that they apply for a CRBA. Parents may also choose to apply only for a U.S. passport for the child. Like a CRBA, a full validity U.S. passport is proof of U.S. citizenship.

Note: you’re aware that the child will not be able to have dual citizenship because Indian does not allow that, right? The child will need to give up Indian citizenship.

You do not need to file anything. Request for CRBA as mentioned by this poster.

Did you get the citizenship process start ? 

 

Was the child born prior to OR after you oath ?
