Dear Sir and madam.

It is brought to your kind notice that once you will file mutual divorce Petition in USA you needs not to file the same in India. But I guess there is some time limit as per USA Law. But I can assure if you will file Mutual Petition From Delhi there would be two motion Petition Under Hindu Marriage act. I.e. First Motion Under Section 13(B-1) in which there must be 1 year separation required and Under Section 13(B-2) Petition which called Cooling Period required 6 month period. Now a days, if the parties to the proceeding living separately from each other, let  takes example, both are mutual agreed and mention the date of separation for last 2 years since marriage or thereafter. The Family court of Competent jurisdiction Generally allowed both the petition within 15 days. 

Oh yes you can file mutual petition in India  without getting Divorce divorce in USA.

As So far as your Other part of question it is advice that both the parties present is mandatory while filing the Mutual Petition in India. But there are amendment and now a days court are also considering the dispense of the parties through video Conferencing. If your relative is staying in India your can executed power of attorney in their favour but you both have to appear through virtual mode on the date fixed. Your on line statement will be recorded by the court concern.

In reply to your query No. 3 it is advice that you both the parties are free to get solemnised your marriage in india even after got divorce from USA Court. But, remember you have to bring your Original Decree of Divorce Certificate while solemnising  Second Marriage.
