Yes they returned the passport after the interview with the 221g white slip. 

That's why they called me to submit it again. 

Good luck. 

No, they gave me 221g white slip with the passport and sent the ds 5535 on email.
Good luck!

thank you!

I am from Syria but applied from the embassy in Lebanon for F1 student visa. 

Wish you all the best!

Hello,

My interview was last Monday August 7. I applied for F1 student visa. Everything was okay, however at the end of the interview she said" we have new process we need you to fill out the form we will email you" and she gave me the 221g. they sent the supplement questions form (ds 5535) and social media. And I filled it out and sent it immediately. And they replied with "thank you" But I saw that the last update was on August 9. Can someone tell me how long would it take? My school will start on August 19. Thanks.
