Have you seen the actual 221g?  Are they just asking you to just upload the marriage certificate to CEAC and send the passport, or are they asking you to upload the marriage certificate to CEAC and then send both the marriage certificate and the passport together by LBC?  The exact details written on the 221g would be important.

Hi top_secret.Thanks for taking time to read my worries.My son was instructed by the IO to upload to the ceac and was said that only the passport and his NBI and Cenomar be submitted in courier.He gave my son a letter  and clearly instructed him to just  send the passpirt nbi and cenomar  and told him not to get married and have a year to do it. here is the letter

Just reading the 221g it's not totally clear.  The 221g doesn't mention CENOMAR or NBI at all. Did he have those at the interview and maybe they just asked him to upload copies of what he had to CEAC????  The 221g does mention foreign marriage certificate, certificate of finality for annulment of bioparents' marriage and original or certified copy of foreign divorce documents for petitioner.  It says those must be scanned and submitted to CEAC AND "SUBMIT THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS TOGETHER WITH YOUR PASSPORT."

 

it also says.. IMPORTANT: All required documents marked below must be submitted all at one time with a copy of this letter and document submission form https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-iv-221ginfo.asp.

Which I assume is this form. https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/PH_IV Document Submission Letter.pdf

 

So best to take everything the 221g says very literally.  Get the required document, scan them to CEAC and send the originals along with the passport and submission letter by LBC.

Hi top_secret again thank you so much fir your input.Yes my son  have and showed  the Cenomar and NBI at the interview.It was given back to him and was instructed to submit it together with his passport thru LBC. The reason I am confuse because the 221g letter is not clear.If we just need to download the required docs marriage cert and termination of marriages which the CO even explain to him to go to Ceac and submit it. And told him to sent the passport and original cenomar and nbi thru LBC .My son is IR2 visa.I guess its safer if we also submit the Marriage cert and termination of marriages thru LBS even we have downloaded it in  ceac as instructed.Anybody have same situation as ours? Thank you so much

Oh! So, I don’t have to wait for the status to be “accepted” and just pass the required document after uploading it? Also, thank you for answering 🙏 and congrats to your son for getting his visa
