Notes:
Work experience of close to 10 years in US. Came to India for a vacation after 2 years.
Visa interview on 4/17.Received a Green slip (the color of the slip as i understand is irrelevant)
Was asked to fill out the DS5535 form. Submitted it the same day at consulate.
Case last updated was changed to 4/17
No update until 9/9. Received an email on 9/9 requesting passport to dropped off at the VAC.
Submitted passport on 9/10.
On 9/17, received an email to collect the stamped passport.
It was was a tough 5 month wait. I did not make a congressional inquiry based on experience shared by other folks here. Doesn't seem to help.The forum helped understand that you have to be extremely lucky to get a response in under 4 months.
Was also lucky enough to still hold my job. It has been a long and stressful wait as you really don't know how soon you'll get the clearance.
If you are in a similar, i'd recommend you to anticipate a 4-8 months of wait time,visit places & enjoy time with your family
