Notes:
I came back to India for H1b stamping and received it without any 221G in September. I had lost my passport on 23Nov with the valid Visa stamp. I got a passport within a week and went for interview at the Kolkata Consulate on the 22nd of December. The VO asked me to sign a form stating that I have lost my passport with a Visa stamp. Then the VO said everything looks good and they need admin processing. Then someone fro ma different window came and asked me for my resume and a questionnaire and was asked to email them which I did on the very same day. The officer said it's going to take 2-3 weeks or more. There were three of us who were called nd one of them was F1. They also retained my passport and the letter from the Immigration Attorney of my company.

Notes:
I have background in biology research so I was expecting this 221 G. The moment visa officer heard my job title, he was startled and asked what kind of research I am into. And some more questions about my employer. He gave me green slip, saying he needs additional documents to process my stamping. Although I mentioned I have all the documents with me, he did not want to look at them and said they need to be submitted electronically.
8th Jan: Received email to submit passport
Submitted passport on 8th Jan
