My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

Have some big trips planned for next year so I would like to upgrade my Delta gold AMEX to Platinum (need that MQD waiver 💸). I heard that if I upgrade I won’t get the 50k sign-up bonus miles, so should I just close my gold card (not my oldest card) and open a new Platinum one?

Is it worth it to get the Amex platinum for a year for the large bonus offer if the intention is to possibly cancel it at the end of the year rather than downgrade?
