You probably should ask on another forum or see an immigration attorney but as far as I know for Green Card purposes, your birthplace counts rather than your citizenship.

You can claim chargeability to the birthplace of a spouse, or sometimes even parents.

There is an additonal backlog for Indian born applicants in certain categories:
