221G - Passport submission - mumbai consulate

[perlperl]

Has anyone recently submitted passport (on or after Nov 21, 2011) to VFS office at mumbai after clearing the 221G "Admin Processing" at Mumbai consulate.

I submitted on Nov 21st. Its now more than 4 business days and still haven't received the passport
I am scared it doesn't come with another 221G

How long it takes usually.

No one can predict. The consulate was closed sue to thanksgiving day holiday. It will take time. You need to be patient. Nothing happens in just 4 days.

I sent an SMS today and got the reply

Finally after painful wait of 1 month, got my passport with visa stamped.

Interview Date: Oct 25, 2011
221G: Yellow Slip "Admin Processing" no docs asked at Mumbai consulate.

Clearance: Nov 10th, CEAC barcode appeared on Mumbai Consulate website.
No email received.

Passport Submitted to VFS: Nov 21st (Since consulate was closed Nov 15 - 18)

Passport Received: Nov 29th (Took 5 business days)

On Stamped Visa: It says "Annotation: Clearance received Nov 10, 2011"

All the best to everyone and keep faith.
