DS 5534
I had interview last month and visa got approved and VO congratulate me and said there's nothing against you. You're good to go. Happy traveling and he kept my passport and said take your passport in 10 days. Also he said I'm taking you to administration processing.
But after 10 days i didn't get any email for passport collection I email to visa section for status.
Today they replied that my case is refused under 221g and told me to submit DS 5535.
Can anyone explain what just happened?

Unfortunately, my friend, DS-5535 is security vetting. you’ll now be asked to submit information about your family, your last 15 years of residential history, social media etc., They’ll then take this information and send it to their internal security agencies such as FBI, CIA etc to verify your identity against their security database.
the processing of this case can take upto months, the sooner 6-7 weeks. I went through the DS-5535 process, fortunately for me it took 6-7 weeks

One more thing i have sent the form through email yesterday. How will i know that they receive the form?
Immig HJan 23, 2022
if you sent it to the email address they asked you to sent, they’ve received it, you just have to wait now.
Also, as a courtesy request, once your case is approved, could you please update here, so all the others could benefit

So I'll not get any response of acknowledgement of form?
Immig HJan 25, 2022
No, i don’t think so. Did you get an automated response or something?
They’ve received it without a doubt
