I've submitted required documents on 21st Jun but still now I did not have any update in https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx.
It is still showing "Administrative Processing" and last update was 11th of July next day of my visa interview.
VO returned my Passport back and said something which I could not heard properly but he issued 221g white from with tick on below comment
" You will receive further instructions at the e-mail address you provided in your application. If you did not provide an email address, or if you do not hear from us within five business days, you should e-mail us at [email protected]. You can track the status of your case by going to *** and entering your case number."
Does anyone faced the similar issue? Please help, My case is in processing or it kept in hold/aside.
Because I applied for B1 visa regarding to discuss future business plans and dates mentioned in invitation letter as 01AUG17 to 30AUG17.

Recently we attend Interview for H1B/H4 Visa with Chennai US Consulate on 17/July/2017. After the Interview Visa Officer gave us 221g with status marked as “"Your application requires additional administrative processing before a final decision can be made".
Bit worried about the delay as my Son High school starts later this month. I did informed my employer and Immigration team regarding this. There was no update for 2 weeks. Sent an email and phone to US Immigration Hyderabad number. Visa Helpdesk asked to wait for update, as this may take few weeks to complete.
On 4th August our Visa was approved. I feel 221g is additional check and nothing to worry, if we have provided correct information. Hope this helps for people waiting for update from Consulate and good luck.

I was informed that H1B cannot be approved right away as there is some administrative processing required. I was not asked to handover any additional documents.
On the Blue slip following is crossed out -
Your blanket L1 application is not clearly approvable under section 8 cfr 214.2 (T)(ii)(B), (c) or (D) or ina 101(a)(15)(l)

This intrvw was for my 2nd H1 stamp (first from current employer). After basic questions, was handed a 221G form. VO returned PP+ all petition docs to me. I emailed all 221g listed docs + additional employer issued letters. ***It seems, when we are asked to present our "petition documents" at time of interview, these never include the 221g requested documents e.g. Resume, separate Job details, Research details, Funding source for e.g.as listed on my 221G.*** I guess we need to hand these over at the same time as petition documents. I do not believe there is any merit to most 221g holds. If we have the 221g required documents handy, we should present them right away to VO no matter if they are not in requested format . My background: MS in Bio field, working in a top ranked non-profit hospital.
JULY 21: Case update: Submit Passport for Final processing.
JULY 24: Traveled to Kolkata + Passport submitted Monday JULY 24
JULY 27: Case update: ISSUED. JULY28 USTRAVEL doc web: Ready4pickup
