I received above email on 31st dec and I submitted my passport on 2nd Jan.
While submitting passport, we need to fill CGI documentation slip (Submission slip). In that form There are two options on it
A. Document submission for: NIV 221(g)
B. Passport requested for final visa processing.
I did submitted my passport but they checked for me option A which is irrelevant. I again went and ask to change it but they refused to do that.
I'm worried about that option checked because I have seen lot of cases who selected option A is getting delayed for process.
I'm worried about this completely can someone help in understanding, does it matter or where can update that option if I want to ?
Appreciate your Help.
Thanks
kumar
