they kept my passport after the interview and said it will take 3-4 weeks but it took 8 weeks. after the 4th week they were saying in a week then 10 days , 5days etc. I kept on praying, emailing the embassy every week to check. DOS is no good, no good answer 2 months , 3months 4 months ,6 months etc

good luck hope to hear good news soon from u
