Notes:
Work as a Research Scientist at Top-20 university with an approved 1-797 under exempt (academic) quota. PhD in mechanical engineering (from US) with specialization in computational fluid dynamics. Don't think this field is under TAL but still was issued a 221(g) and the current status on CEAC is 'Administrative Processing'. Have lived in the US for for more than 8 years as F-1 student-> postdoc -> and now full time-staff, still this crap. In hindsight, I was foolish NOT to expect a 221(g). Seems most people with PhDs in STEM fields have to go through this nightmare. Am mentally prepared for more than 30 days of wait and agony :( Any non-IT/non-spouse people with "Admin Processing'? Update#1 : Got an email to submit passport on Sep 22nd. (20 calendar days for AP)
