2022 March max out or just expiration of current visa?

It's 180 days after I140 approvals that the firm is supposed to withdraw the I140.. so just let go of the thought untill March 2022 and take it from there after you get another extension

Get 140 approved and possibly visa extension before switching

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?
