Hi,
Visa Interview Date : May 15th 2019
Document Submission Date : May 17th 2019
This is was my first stamping after my H1B was approved in 2017. Basic questions were asked by VO -
1) From where did I complete my masters
2) What are my Job Duties
3) Am I working directly with the employer or working on EVC model - PS: I am a direct employee and not working as a contractor.
After these 3 questions VO gave me 221G Blue Slip, handed over my passport back and asked me to submit the check marked documents -
I 797, Education Details, Resume, H1B Cover Letter, Tax returns for last 2 years of my employer, Company photos etc.
Case status update : May 21st 2019
August 9th : Received email from New Delhi Consulate to submit passport .
August 13th :Case Updated - Still AP
August 14th :Case Updated - Issued
My experience - It will take atleast 60-90 days for Administrative Processing to be completed (depending upon case ) as New Delhi consulate is overloaded with 221G pending cases

Notes:
Dropbox on June 14, called for interview on July 3 and got 221g and returned passport: took client letter, I-129 and contacted client on July 11 and client responded on July 15. Got email on July 25 for reinterview on July 26 and got 221g again but took passport this time and asked for LCA. Case is still in AP since July 26. Frustrating to be on the waiting side, no idea when I will receive an update.

Notes:
Had my interview on Feb 13th. It is my first time H1b and first one for my company as well.
My interview went okay, gave me a yellow slip. I waited for an hour, I was called and interview by another lady. Later the VO called me and gave me a blue slip and returned my passport.
The blue slip had only one check mark -They want the Federal tax returns of my company which my company submitted on 02/15/2019.
March 5th - My Employer reached out to the consulate asking for the status. The consulate responded asking for my basic details and the G28 form. I am not sure why they would need G28 because it would be provided to USCIS during petition time. Anyone, any idea why ?
04/15 - It is 60 days today and still in AP
05/14 - Case Update Date updated the 1st time to May 13th(exactly (90 days)
05/17 - Received another 221g asking to provide Job description and other details.
06/12 - 3rd 221g asking Marketing Analysis and other docs.
08/19 - No updates, this is so frustrating!

Notes:
Passport, original i797, LCA collected during interview and handed 221g with no docs requested. Passport was returned after 4 days with no stamping and case status still in AP.
90 days has passed, no change in status. All followups with embassy has yielded only standard response.
Aug 13th Case sent back to USCIS for review, all hopes lost.
