I have some visa issues so cannot fly through LHR and FRA. I live near EWR but JFK is also an option. I have around 100k BA points, 150K Amex, 85k AA,60K Delta. The best airlines for me would be Qatar, Emirates, Air India, Jet.
Any help is really appreciated and my thanks in advance
If you can't transit through Europe, your next bet would be to use 90K AA miles for a coach flight to India on Ethiad (via Abu Dhabi) or on the direct Chicago to Delhi AA flight.

Or you could transfer AMEX MR points to a Star Alliance partner and fly on Turkish Air to Istanbul and then on to India.
