Hello All,
I received 221G for my F1 renewal visa (interview on 12/07/2017). I am currently working in the Pharmaceutical industry as part of my OPT after graduating last year with Masters. During the interview, VO did mention 3-4 weeks of processing time for my visa case and asked me to submit documents related to my research, travel, funding, stay etc. I submitted all the documents on 12/09/2017 and my CEAC status still shows that case was last updated on 12/07/2017. The passport tracking shows no status update for the current passport. I am getting nervous at this point as I have to resume work when back to states and it's been more than a month since I am on leave. This is the first time that I received 221G and would like to know if other members of this forum are in the same boat as me.
10Jan2018- Received mail to submit employer information,offer & acceptance letter.submitted docs on the same day.
CEAC Status last updated-07Dec2017(day of my interview)

Status Changed to Issued: 1/09/18. Waiting for the document to be picked up.
VO asked questions about my highest degree, job title and how long I have been working at my current company. Handed me a white slip and checked the administrative processing box. Told me that she was unable to update my information in the database due to some glitch and would need 2-3 additional working days in order to issue my visa.

Hi Guys,
I have been asked to submit the documents on 15 dec (Listed on 221g form) but since I submitted supporting documents for client letter, they contacted me through email and asked me to send the documents again.
So, do I have to drop off the documents in the nearest VAC venter or can I send it through email? Please advise.
Thanks.

Dec 11- Attended interview in chennai. VO asked general questions, client, location, salary, etc., Asked to show LCA (not I797A). Verified, asked to wait in lobby for sometime.

In a couple of weeks - client received an email to verify my roles.
Jan 3rd - Request to submit passport,
Jan 4th - submitted,
Jan 5th - case updated,
Jan 8th - Issued
Hope this information helps others to get an idea.
