To become an American citizen, you need to have been a permanent resident for at least 5 yrs, had a continuous residence of at least 5 yrs and physical presence of at least 3 months. If the applicant is over 50/55 yrs of age and have resided in the US for 20/15 yrs after becoming a green card holder, then he/she need not take the English test. If the applicant is 65 yrs or older, then he /she can be exempted from the civic test.So the most important requirement is the permanent resident status.

An Indian cannot become a US citizen by marrying a US citizen. Not only Indians, but any other person from another country cannot become a US citizen just by marrying a US citizen. A US citizen can sponsor a Indian on an appropriate visa ( like K-1 visa) after which he/she can adjust their status to that of a permanent resident. After being a PR for 3 yrs, the Indian can then apply for US citizenship, if needed.

If an undocumented immigrant gives birth while in America is the baby an American citizen?
Yes. A child born on American soil is an American citizen. I beleieve the question is meant to refer American soil as United States soil, being that the western hemisphere is America, therefore all children born there are Americans. And yes, a child born in the USA is a citizen of the USA, regardless if his parents are undocumented. That is the major problem facing the undocumented immgration in the US. Families are being separated because undocumanted parents are deported while the US-born child has the rights to remain in USA.
