H1B renewal, stuck in administrative processing
Situation :

Current H1B expires soon in July 2019. I changed employers last year and have a new i797. Filled out DS-160 and scheduled appointment. Based on questions it said "eligible for dropbox" . This is my first H1B renewal.

Company : one of the top reputed companies with 20k employees.
Job Role : CS , product security (not information security)

April 22nd 2019: Submitted documents for dropbox at mumbai consulate

April 23rd - 25th 2019 : Application Received

April 25th - 30th 2019 : Administrative Processing

April 30th - Current (May 8th) 2019: - Administrative processing.

The "Last Update date" field changed on April 30th 2019 and status is still Administrative Processing.

No documents asked , no email about 221(g). I emailed ustraveldocs twice and got the same standard response "in processing could take 60 days" .

No idea what is happening and what to do. I have had to rebook my flights. Not sure if i will still get it so i dont have to rebook again.

I have read many such experiences here, other forums and blogs, but almost all of them have got it in 2-3 weeks. this is the 3rd week for me
