Notes:
The VO returned all my documents including my passport and said I will have to submit my passport when they ask me to do so. He also said I will receive an email within 5 days. I received the email on 5th day. Asked to submit a .txt form of CV/Resume, recent/current publications and any other supporting documents if available. The questionnaire seemed to be a generic one, not specific for H1B.

I am a PhD student in Molecular Biology, renewing my F1 visa. I have been in US previously for 7 years, all under F1 status. They kept my passport and I20 and haven't asked for any document.
Finally after 59 days of wait, my visa has been approved. I was called to the embassy where the VO revealed that it's approved. The VO also revealed to me that my case was kind of lost! My advisor sent an email to the consulate 3 days ago and apparently it woke them up.

I got 221g pink slip on 8th May 2013 @ chennai location. Consular officer kept my passport with him and told me that your visa is approved but will need to do administrative processing. I asked if I need to submit any further documents and he said no need to submit documents.
It's been 2 months but still no updates on my case status - still showing "Pending processing".
can anybody help.

I have had 2 successful F1 and one successful H1 stamping before. This time around, I went in for my H4 stamping and am stuck with 221g. I have a biotech background, which may have triggered this.

Myself and my wife had attended our visa interview on 24th May 2012 right after one week of our marriage.Mine was H1B renewal and her first time H4 visa at Chennai Consulate but were rewarded with a pink slip :)
At the first counter an american lady takes our interview and mentions that our visa's are approved after Q&A round but hands over pink slips and suggests to go to counter 31,here an Indian lady takes our personal details,retains our passports,hands over pink slips with case# and suggests to wait for few weeks for the admin process to complete,a bummer.
It's been 10 months now and still no sign of visa.My Employer and Attorney exhausted all possible options,even reached out to Senator's Office for help but no luck yet,surprisingly not a single doc nor any employment proof was asked to be furnished.
Have only common Muslim Name but clean records,it's a same ordeal during my first H1B visa stamp at Chennai back in 2008 I was given pink slip, then visa received after 6 months.
