221G white slip

Embassy/Consulate:
India : New Delhi

Document Submission Date:
02/08/2018
Passport Collected:
Yes
Notes:
Me and my spouse had given Visa Iinterview on Feb 6th and got white slip (Consulate kept both Passports), had submitted all documents requested on Feb 8th but still no update and CEAC site shows "Administrative Processing" and "Case last update" in CEAC is still Feb 6.
Only difference I have noticed so far is... earlier mine and my spouse passport tracking was showing "Your Passport is still with US Embassy/Consulate" however on Feb 23rd it’s showing "There is no status update available for the passport number submitted" in http://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/in-niv-passporttrack.asp.
Wondering if anyone know what it means? and when can I expect some update from Consulate or in CEAC site?

Notes:
My Visa is approved. A little background on what happened...
During the interview, the visa officer asked for court document for arrest and expungement papers. Asked me to wait outside of the line until they scanned all the documents. Then he called me again in about 20 mins. Since I hadnt been to India after my DUI and hadnt done the medical examination, he went ahead and issued 221g and asked me to go through full medical examination which included a pych evaluation as well. He said "Drop your passports after 5 working days after medical results are submitted. After we review your results, we will approve your visa."
Luckily got the medical appointment same day at Rele Clinic. They submitted everything in 3 days. I went ahead and submitted the passport on the 5th day. Got notification of approval 9 calendar days later.
