Wait for another 2 weeks. After that ask your company attorney to check with USISC / DOL. Or with the reference number of yor 221G, you can also contact them through phone or email and check your status.
This is very common now a days. On the name of administrative process, they are holding the process for 4 to 5 weeks which is very uncommon compared to past years.

All the best.
