Refusal means 221g in majority of the cases, especially work visas. Prior to March 3rd, 221g used to reflect the status as "Admin processing". It has started to show as "Refused" now. This was done by Department of State to reflect the status of the application as worded in 221g letter issued. The info about this update is available on State Department website.

Its available on ustraveldocs.com/in. Also on US embassy website. There won't be any email/sms notification since its a blanket cancellation. No one can go for interview unless there is a new update.

Hi - I am in the same boat, I checked the passport status on the website and it shows passport is being processed for delivery. While reading articles on the internet and various forums, looks like US state department has changed the status of "Admin processing" to "Refused" to reflect correct visa status. It started on March 3rd with a directive. I believe its most likely 221g but need to wait for the package. US travel docs support is asking to wait until I receive the package and then plan the next steps. Btw, I had a DUI in 2017 and I guess its most likely the same reason. Although I had my first successful stamping after DUI in 2018 with panel physician. This time I made a mistake of going with Dropbox since I was eligible. Let me know what update you got. Please share here.
