H1B Renewal - 221G - DS 5535 - Hyderabad
I had to travel on a family emergency, my wife and baby stayed back. I am eligible for dropbox.

06-13-2019 - I dropped my passport at VAC Hyderabad.
06-18-2019 - Received email asking me to schedule an appointment.
06-25-2019 - Attended for an interview at HYD consulate, I got to answer 4-5 questions. Retained passport and issued 221G white slip requesting no documents.
06-25-2019 - 4 hours after the interview, I received an email asking me to submit the DS 5535 Form.
06-25-2019 - Submitted DS 5535 by end of the day.

I am with same employer since last 2 and half years and I even opted for dropbox last time and my visa was stamped and issued then without any delays. I have a clean record, paying taxes on time, neither visited middle eastern countries. I am not sure why this time I was issued DS 5535.

My wife is taking care of the baby alone, my lease ends in 2 months, I have to take care of the lease renewal/switching to new apartments. So much of inconvenience.

Does anyone have a similar experience? Any Insight on why DS 5535 was issued and why this time, I didn't travel to any other countries nor changed my name.
