When I went to submit my passport the VAC people told me that it usually takes 4-5 business days for the passport to be processed, but it all depends on the Consulate! So the only thing I can do is 'wait' and track my passport online.
CEAC Status change on Aug 28, 2017: Issued (No email); Passport Tracking: Still with Consulate
US Travel Docs email on Aug 29, 2017: Documents collected from Consulate, Passport Tracking: Passport ready for pickup
Total time taken: 6 weeks 6 days
Thank you, and good luck to everyone.

Notes:
I am a postdoc in a reputed university in a Biology-related field. Got a PhD from a US university too. Was on OPT and applied for a J1 visa and for my wife as J2 dependent.
Interview was July 18th; It was short (may be a minute) and went well. The VO just confirmed all the and gave us the worker's rights document. Everything seemed positive for an approval until she noticed that I already have a PhD in a Biology related field.
She then told us that she needs to put us on administrative processing and told us it is pretty quick now and should only take 3-4 weeks. I think it is probably a TAL security clearance.
She just took a copy of my CV, retained the original DS2019 and asked us if we wanted to leave the passports with her or wanted them back for travel. We took them back.
Aug 28th: got an email that the AP has been completed! They wanted an updated start date before passport submission.
Interestingly, still no update in the CEAC status since the interview date. Still showing AP.

Living in US for last 10 years and came for Extension Stamping stuck here and my wife and daughter in US. Unfortunately also bought home and now realizing it may be was bad decision.
Finally got approval after lots of ups and downs at personal front. They certainly needs improvement in their process while issuing 221g. Most of the time documents are readily available at VO screen. It seems they issue these slips just to reduce work load.

Notes:
ym rofI submitted documents on 19th July 2017, I had return flight tickets for 31st July but my status was AP. I had to cancel my tickets. On 1st Aug I got email to collect passport. It came with 221g white slip to appear for interview. 2nd Aug I appeared for interview and got 221g white slip again. I work in three layers and I am subcontractor for prime vender. My end client is state govt. This thing confused consulate a bit(not sure why as this is very usual practice of work in our IT industry). I Submitted documents on 10th Aug and my status got updated for 10th Aug but with same status AP.
24th Aug got a call from US Embassy and there was a lady on other side, She sounded Indian. She asked me few questions on my client and petitioner. I clearly mentioned as my documents stated. That I work as subcontractor and I sit at prime vender location.
I am worried for this As I am paying for everything there in USA but no salary. Also my work is getting affected.
