Thanks a thousand times over
I wanted to reach out and thank everyone who have shared their experiences at this forum. For those of us who are losing their minds waiting, this ends up being the only solace where we get to read what other people went through, and temper our expectations.

It appears to take a few days to issue the visa and appears that all submissions are in Administrative Processing regardless of whether they are 221(g) or not.

I was losing my mind because the last time I was in administrative processing under 221(g) I waited for 6 months with no update before the visa was rejected.

I am hoping to get my passport over the next couple of days so that I can make my flight on Saturday

Again, thanks to everyone for sharing and best of luck to those waiting.
