However, I've been living abroad for the past decade, only in India for a few weeks every year (at my parents' house). My police verification was completed at this address when I last visited India in early January.

Based on this information, would I be considered as an Indian citizen living in India? I also know that in my initial GOES application I entered a detailed residence history dating back 5 years, which included all foreign addresses. I wonder if that's what's used to determine residency instead.

If the rumor is true that Indian Citizens residing in US are getting their application conditionally approved, I wonder how the government will know by merely looking at the application details.
