Document Submission Date:

Passport Collected:
Yes
Notes:
I submitted my application on Nov 25, 2016 with an Interview appointment at US Consulate at Montreal, Canada.
The Office asked me below questions
1. Current Approved I797
2. Offer Letter of Current Employer
3. Previous Approved H1
4. Previous Tax Documents
5. Resume
After looking in the previous H1 documents; the officer informed me that further investigation would be needed on my H1 that was previously denied. And this process would take 90 days or several weeks and I would be informed by email for further updates on my Visa.
I was handed a white paper document that showed my Visa is currently under Section 221(g) Administrative Processing.
Meanwhile status on the Consulate website said "Your visa case is currently undergoing administrative processing"
On Dec 28, 2016 I was informed by email that I can submit my passport at the Canadian post.
I then submitted my passport and received the Passport w/ Visa within 6 days.
The Online Visa application status shows as ISSUED.

Notes:
I went for interview on 23rd Dec. I have a MS in Electrical Engineering(vlsi design) from a US university and have been working with a semiconductor company for 2 years in the US on F1-OPT and FT-OPT Stem extension. I came to India for H1B stamping and was issued a white slip asking for an invitation letter, resume, research publications and travel related information. I have not been involved in any research so I provided as much information as I could about my work related current and past projects instead. I also got my responses checked by my company lawyer before emailing the requested documents. I received an auto reply saying that documents were received and the processing will take 4-6 weeks.
case created : 22nd Dec
first update: 24th Jan, AP
second update: 27th Jan, AP
third update: 2nd Feb, AP
fourth update: 6th Feb, Issued
Waiting for my passport now.
