We submitted our 221g proof on Jan 25th and they approved it Jan 29th. We got email to submit passport on Feb 2nd but we never got the email so we didn't submit passport until Feb 15. We got issued on Feb 22. We are going to pick up visa this week. 

Hi! When they approve your case they will email or call you to submit your passport. We submitted our 221g on Jan 25th and our ceac changed dates 2 days in a row. Still under AP. Unfortunately our case had a major glitch because they had sent us an email that our passport was ready for pickup on Jan 29 and again Feb 2 but when we would call they would say it's a glitch. So PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to every email and question them! We sent an email on Feb 13 and got a reply on 14th that we did have a packet at the embassy. We went on 15th and there it was the request to submit our passport. We submitted passport on 15th. Our ceac updated 19th 20th and on 21st it changes to Non immigrant and on 22nd it changed to issued. On 25th our passport tracking site changed to being delivered and 26th we picked up our visa. 

The beneficiary will get the email. It's whatever email or phone number you provided on the ds-160.
If you selected delivery then most likely someone will call you. If you chose pick up, you'll get an email.

We filed our visa with no lawyer no rapidvisa no help. We got a 221g requesting more proof of relationship and upon submission we were approved in 3 days. It's all about reading! I'm glad that these posts help others because when we dis receive our 221g there were not much about 221g. I don't know if people are shy or ashamed to post about them. 

Make sure first and foremost that you meet poverty guidelines. If you do, it could very well be that they are missing documents from you. They won't proceed if anything is missing even if you meet poverty and are missing documents.

This has always been my thought. Quotes ideas ok. Complete arrangements are a risk. Even if they approve it CAN take up to 10 business days to receive the visa.

Yes they have to take a different route. Better safe than sorry!

I just saw that it was issued. Just now

We got our visa!!!! ❤ We will pick it up in the morning. Best of luck to all! 

My honest opinion is no but best of luck to you. It took the embassy 3 days to approve our 221g docs. Then 2 days for them to ask for the passport. Then it took a few days to go to non immigrant and then to issued. Then it can take from there about 5-10 business days to have visa in hand. Consuls don't go based off what wedding plans you created. Again I'm just giving you the honest truth.

We are resubmitting what we took to the interview and then some. Let see what happens!

Sorry to say, this is exactly what we did and they now requested more. We have them quality over quantity and it didn't work. Not in India. I wish I could have taken the extra trip and gone to the interview.
