Changing status from F1 to H1B
VO asked me couple of questions related with job and its location. Then, he asked about my university and try to check my student visa, also he asked "Did i ever had any issue with customs and border security? Did i ever come across secondary screening during reentry?, when did i enter usa for my studies?" and then gave me 221g blue slip and hold my passport. VO told me that it needs administrative processing. No docs requested.
15-March -- Case Last Updated But still in administrative processing. No response yet. I dont know whats going on. Any ideas appreciated.
26-March Morning ---> status changed to issued and after 2 pm got a msg to pickup PP. Collected
Really frustrating. Hope everyone to get their status update soon. All the best!

This is my first H1B extension. I work on EVC model basis. I got interview waiver at first and was eligible for drop-box. So, I dropped my documents on Feb 12th 2019. Later, I got a blue slip on Feb 15th 2019, when I collected my passport. Few documents were requested in the blue slip and it took me 3 weeks to gather them. So, finally after having all the documents, I attended the interview on March 7th 2019. The VO gave me another blue slip, stating that they need more information about the client. No update on CEAC website since then and it still shows pending. My employer says that it takes upto 60 days for this process. But, none of them (employer, vendor or client) have been contacted till now.

Interview attended at - Mumbai
Date - 16th Oct 2018
VO questions -
What is the purpose of visit?
Client company name?
Client location?
What are skills?
Took a slip to handover which had client letter ticked. I informed VO that I am having client letter after which VO took the client letter and made some notes on the system. Ticked the agreement letter and was trying to handover the slip with all the documents. Observing the tick for agreement letter between my employer and client, I tried to provide that too. But VO insisted that, it needs to be sent by petitioner.
Jan3rd - My employer engaged an attorney and attorney sent all the requested documents with G28 attached.
My queries - Will there be any priority handling if an attorney represents my case with a G28?
EDIT
The wait is over- Email received to submit passport on 12th March
Stamped passport received on 19th March.
Frustrating times are over. Patience is the key.

Notes:
I had given interview on Feb 12, 2019.
Interview went well but at the end VO handed over me 221G Yellow slip ( Passport is kept by officer ), where it was mentioned to submit extra documents through email.
I had submitted the documents after a week.
After several days gone on 18th March 2019, Embassy has returned my passport with 221G Green slip, saying additional administrative processing is required and embassy will contact you through email again.(No documents asked now)
Has anyone gone through such situation ?
Will visa get approved in this case as i had already submitted required documents.

Hi All,
I work in EVVC model and have been working in the US over the past 10 years, the VO asked regular questions about my masters and my employer, she asked for a client letter and I told her it is against the client's policy and I have an email from my manager stating the same, she took my vendor letter/pay stubs/w2's/lca/I-129 and said she needs to validate and will need some time and asked me to wait for some more time, I waited for about 30-45 mins and was called again, the VO said unfortunately we will need more details to process this and handed me a white slip requesting for Client letter,Contracts between the vendors and the end client and a complete itinerary of services or engagements.
I submitted all of the documents minus the client letter ( attached the client email ), this uncertainty is really killing me, I have never been much of a poster, but i see the value in this now atleast for the sake of others. Will update this when the case is updated any further.
