@superspidey, I don't think that will help, the DOS doesn't care much about employment related urgencies, their website says they would only expedite 221(g) if the US government has an interest or there's a humanitarian reason. Do you know someone who this worked for? Thanks for your help.

I did some research and found some people had their Background/Name Check based 221(g) Resolved in Vancouver in 40~50 days in the month of October. It seems to me like our wait is a bit longer because of the numerous holidays in that interval As DOS was closed for 2 days for Thanksgiving, 3 days for Christmas and 1 day for New year's.

My friend got his visa approved after 221(g). He got 221(g) during F1 visa in india and again he got 221(g) for H1(B) visa stamping in Vancouver. He received his clearance pretty quickly i am assuming that's because of his past 221(g) on F1.

Anyways here the time line for his visa approval.

Nov 20 -- he had interview given 221g (Name check background check bcz of common Muslim last name i guess)

Dec 21 -- Got email from Vancouver NIV requesting to come to consulate on Dec 21 or Dec 27 but he was out of country for sisters marriage he return to consulate on Jan 03 (due to Marriage, holidays and long flight back from India)

Jan 03 -- They gave him 221(g) again saying previous clearance expired and requested to leave passport.

Jan 11 -- Friday at 4pm Vancouver time his status on CEAC website got update with Jan 11 time stamp.

Jan 14 -- Monday he received email from Consulate requesting to come to consulate on Wednesday

between 2:15-2:45 to pick up passport and I797 form and his status on CEAC website got updated to Jan 14 time stamp and still showed Administrative processing.

Jan 15 -- Status changed on CEAC website to "ISSUED"

Jan 16 -- He went to consulate and picked up Passport and I797. Consulate was closed as it was holiday every 3 Wednesday of month but passport pick section was open.

My interview was on NOV 26 I received 221(g) It was my first H1b stamping and I did not receive 221(g) during my F1. I am still waiting for an update from consulate, I sent them email last week and they told me it still in Admin processing and advise to check status on CEAC website.

Please make Duva for me. Inshallah I am hoping to receive something before end of this month. I will let you guys know if i receive any update on my status from consulate..
