No. You apply in the US. The only issue is whether he has to return to India for permission from his country. But I believe that's handled through his consulate (most major cities have a consulate for India). * The foreign national spouse will be required to voluntarily leave the U.S. or be officially deported. Immigration laws no longer allow a citizen spouse to apply for permanent resident status of a spouse who was unlawfully present at the time of the marriage. There are a few exceptions to the law, such as a person who qualifies as a refugee or asylee. Because the person entered the U.S. illegally they will not be able to apply for reentry for at least one year or if they have been in the U.S. for more than a year the time becomes 10 years, with exceptions made based on the merit of individual cases.

Do I have to marry a US citizen in America or in my country to receive my greencard?

That should not necessarily have a bearing on your greencard status. When an individual is getting their green card based on marriage, the important part is having a valid American marriage to an American and that can happen in another country if that is where you want your wedding to take place. When a U.S. citizen marries a non-U.S. citizen, the couple will have to participate in a marriage interview so the non-U.S. citizen can obtain permanent residency. The marriage interview is used to assist the immigration authorities in determining the legitimacy of the marriage.

Can you obtain a passport from a city which is not your native?

Passports aren't issued by cities, they are issued by countries. In order to have a passport, you need to be a citizen of the country you are applying to. So if you are a British citizen, you get a UK passport, if you are a Canadian citizen, you get a Canadian passport. It doesn't matter where you were born, it's what country you are a citizen. If you don't have citizenship then you cannot have a passport. Ex: A Canadian citizen, who is NOT an American citizen cannot have a US passport.
