Went in for interview at the New Delhi location on Dec 5th 2017.
Basic questions like company, responsibilities, work location, salary, school. Lasted for 5 min.
VO only asked for my new and old passport and Form I797. Verbally approved my Visa and kept my passport.
No 221g slip handed out at the time. Online CEAC status says refused under 221g for AP.
No updates since date of interview and no documents requested so far. Email to embassy and ustraveldocs resulted in their standard email.

I work in EC model. I had been stamped h1B visa 3 times before. But This time unfortunately it is 221g.
31-Nov-2017 : Dropbox in Bangalore VFS office for H1 and H4
07-Dec-2017: Received the passport has 221g asking for appearing for interview, with updated client letter from client personnel stating that my job vacancy is there upon my return. A hand written instructions that wife need not to come to interview but bring both passports.
18-Dec-2017: Appeared for the interview, consular officer asked me very normal question. collected my client letter but return my passport stating that I will receive email with an attachment 221g form which indicates to send your passport for stamping. After the email is received drop passport in same VFS office. But till now there is no updates on status.
My only worry is Till today my client have not received any communication form consulate/Embassy.
Is it mandatory that 221g client letter requested cases definitely they will contact the client

221G for Research. Ph.D. in Chemical engineering. VI was on 6th Dec 2017.
Documents sent to [email protected] on 7th December 2017.
Documents required:-
Research Proposal
Resume
List of published work
Name and Resume of US faculty adviser
Invitation from the host
Travel history
Current and past projects
I got an automated reply regarding confirmation of documents received.
Since then I have not seen any updates on CEAC website and status change still shows 6th Dec.
However, passport tracking on ustraveldocs has started to show "there is no status available for your passport" instead of "passports is with embassy" since 21st Dec. I am not sure what does that mean. Keeping fingers crossed and waiting patiently.
Case Last Updated: 11-Jan-2018 from 06-Dec-2017 for the first time
Issued : 12-Jan-2018. Took 37 days for the ordeal to get over.
USTravelDocs Update (12-Jan-2018) - Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery
