Hi,
Here's my case updates.
June 10 - Submitted docs through Dropbox.
June 11 - Case created
June 18 - Received passport back with 221g blue slip asking for additional docs
June 25 - Submitted docs the same day. Since the client doesn't provide Client letter passport was returned back with 221g blue slip again
June 25 to July 11 - Still waiting on updates.
Anyone on the same boat? What is the average timeline for them to verify with the client and to submit the passport?
Fingers crossed.

Notes:
Had 'Clearance Received' on my first Visa stamping - took 5 days then
No issues at port of entry, clean record in US without even a single traffic violation or anything.
Common Muslim name, changed employer from FTE consultant to FTE with a product based company a year ago
----------------------------------
Attended interview in Hyderabad (28th May). My Wife's H4 visa got approved the next day but after almost 4-5 business days I got an email asking to fill DS5535. I replied to that email and got received email acknowledgment.
My Passport was returned after the email. My wife's passport had the stamp.

Notes:
Very basic questions about place of work, full time or contract, salary, highest level of education and why i did two masters
F1 to H1
The visa interviewer wrote the case number on a blue 221(g) slip and asked me to look for updates online.
No documents asked and the VI retained my passport.
7/5: Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days.
7/10: Same update
