Passport Collected:
Yes
Notes:
I had my interview on Oct 28, 2016. The visa officer asked me questions like my designation, what kind of work I do, for how long I've been part of the company that I currently work at, my Masters (I've a Masters degree from a US University) and major, if I was out of status anytime during my stay in US and the VO gave me a 221g white slip and told me that it would not take more than 1 to 2 business days for this process to be complete and suggested me to reach out to the embassy in case if I do not hear back in another week from my interview date. The VO retained my passport and did not ask for any additional documents, also, I did not receive any emails asking for additional documents.
As of now, it's still in "Administrative Processing" status and the status hasn't changed from Oct 28, 2016.

Notes:
Went to interview on Dec 14th with family. Kid is US citizen and Consular Officer immediately guessed it. Usual Q&A, and we were having a great conversation with CO. I was happy with how the interview was going and was almost certain that I got the visa. However at the end she stared at the screen for long time and told me that she needs additional info from my employer, wrote 221g and asked for 4 documents under petitioner section. Offer letter, client letter, contract details, and technical description of project.
Me - Thanks, and left disappointed.
Submitted the documents on Dec 19th and got automated acknowledgement. Now waiting. I am on EVC model.
Update 02/01 - Received email to submit passport.
02/07 - Passport received with visa
02/13 - Traveled to US. Immigration was smooth.
Good luck to all waiting.

Notes:
My H1B visa stamping interview was on Dec 9th 2016. During the interview, the VO asked me a few basic questions followed by handing me a 221(g) letter with no additional documents requested. I haven't received any updates until now, and the last case status update is the same as the interview date. Contacting the embassy or the ustraveldocs support team hasn't really helped so far.
Anybody else in the same boat as me?
