Pretty much the same case as you. Extension goes beyond 7 years and I-140 approved with the same company. Interview was on May 1, 2013. No docs asked. Just checked I-797's. Then asked for e-mail to reach me on. Issued 221(g) and said she'll get back in either 4-5 days, or could be couple of weeks or longer too. I asked what the problem might be, but was told there is no problem with the paperwork. So I have no clue what the 221(g) was issued for, possibly a background check?

Hi LGD_M13,

 

Did you get any update on your case. Can you pls send one mail to my profile id to discuss further.

Finally on August 26, 2013 - I got the approval email from Ottawa consulate that my visa is approved and they need my passport as soon as possible. Reaching back to Ottawa from India took a while and I presented my passports to them on Sep 11. I came to know that it was a name hit for me that caused this 221g. Got the passports back with visa stamped on Sep 13 and now back to the US. Wait was tough but I think patience is key.

 

Here is my timeline:

 

Interview date:      April 17, 2013 - 221g issued

Clearance email:  August 26, 2013

Passport submitted: Sep 11, 2013

Visa received:           Sep 13, 2013

Back to US:              Sep 14, 2013 

 

Total of around 5 months .. phew ..
