K1 visa 221g next steps timeline

[Melinyel 5]

July 19th we received notice of my fiances interview and she had her K1 visa interview at the consulate in Mexico City on July 29th. We received a 221g because she did not have an original copy of my birth certificate on hand, only a copy. The embassy did keep her passport, which I hear is a good sign. I had the birth certificate overnighted and it arrived at the embassy on July 30th. We are trying to figure out our timeline for the next steps.

Any idea how long it will take for them to review the birth certificate, and notify us of approval status? Anything I can do at this point to move it forward more quickly?

Additionally, we have a trip planned September 7th to go to Peru, if this takes a long time, and her passport is still at the embassy in a month, are there options for her to still be able to do that trip even though they have her passport?

It's as simple as requesting her passport back
