Just an update for others. The payment didn’t reflect after a week in SEF and finally got expired. No response from SEF for the email and we were not able to contact SEF. The money we paid was lost forever.
My lawyer was able to generate other payment. This time I was careful to wait for 48 hours to make the payment and it reflected the next day in SEF website. So please wait for 48 hours to make the payment. Thanks to JP for the tip.
