I have received 221g and they mentioned to submit document to embassy office through email id they mentioned the below screenshot. Could you please confirm me whether this document should be submitted by petitioner or me.
Anybody can submit the documents. It does not matter.
You can ask your employer to send them directly to embassy or you can send them.
Hi Anil,
Thanks for your response. I have submitted the requested documents through mail as per the 221g on 27th April 2021. Till now i didn’t receive any mail confirmation that documents received and CEAC status showing as refused from the interview date(March12th 2021).
Could you please suggest me that how many days or weeks it will take for process or do i get any mail again from the embassy or need to check the status in CEAC?
Could you please tell me what are the next steps once we submit 221g.
Hi Kumar, I am in the same boat.
I was asked to submit client letter plus job duties.
Any change in your status ?
