Even if you renounce your citizenship you've to be citizen of any country. Just being on PR would make you stateless which isn't possible IMO. If you've to visit India, even if your grand father was a Pakistani citizen you've to follow the same protocol as being a Pakistani. I prefer to keep passports from every country I am citizen of. Your passport should show country of birth regardless

Bad idea to renounce until one becomes a U.S Citizen right? I am not sure if Pakistan Consulate would allow that.

I generally think that it's a bad idea to renounce the citizenship at all

Up to you whether you want to renounce your former citizenship or not---you'll have to weigh any pros and cons towards your personal situation...no one here can really tell you what's best for you.  Renouncing citizenship is a personal decision in your case, since it's not a requirement from your home country or the US.

Personal choice if you really want to do it, but I don't see any point 

I won’t have to renew my passport but I would still be able to keep my citizenship based on my birth there. I don’t think there are any cons with keeping dual.

Yes that’s what I will suggest too. There isn’t any cost to maintain it . Even a 10 year passport cost less than $200 & nicop is even half the price

You should definitely not renounce until you are a US citizen, otherwise you will end up stateless

What happens if someone is stateless?
