Notes:
Went for my 4th H1B via stamping. All my previous H1B's were issued at New Delhi consulate and no issues at all. The visa officer was young lady and asked for my passport, I-797s (current and past), my current job and details. I do work in a Robotics company. After looking at all the documents, she fed in some information into her computer and returned back my documents, saying everything looks good but go to counter # @ where in there was an Indian lady. She took my passport and gave me a white slip with nothing specifically checked, but asked me to submit everything listed in there. She mentioned that I got a 221G and current processing time is atleast 3 - 4 weeks.
Biometrics - Dec 18 2017
Visa Interview - Dec 19 2017. ( Issued 221G and case went into AP)
Documents Submitted - Dec 20 2017
First Update - Jan 29 2018 (At 11.0am. AP)
Second Update - Jan 30 2018 ( @ 10.30Am. AP)
Third Update - Jan 30 2018 ( @ 3.00PM - issued)
Good luck all. Lesson learnt just be patient - it only works

Notes:
This was my 2nd H1-B extension and I never got my previous H1-B stamped in India (never visited India between Oct 1, 2014 - Sep 30, 2017 after my entry to US in May, 2014). I attended the interview with my spouse for H4 renewal as well. Interviewing officer asked me to provide my previous I-797 ((2014-2017) and I provided that. I had a DUI arrest in 2012 but the case was reduced to negligent driving. The officer asked about it and verified the panel physician report and case documents. He was not overly concerned about the arrest as it was thoroughly vetted during my 2013 visa stamping when I had to go through panel physician. The officer told us that our visas were approved. But on 30th Nov, 2017, I received an email with 221-G blue slip asking for my previous I-94s and 797s. I submitted those documents on the same day. over 2 months now and no news yet. I am wondering if I need to request my employer to send an email to the consulate. Any help/information would be appreciated.
Thanks
