221G Administrative Processing

Hi, I had my visa interview today at the Chennai Consulate and I received a 221G. They gave me the blue paper and took my passport. I was told that the administrative processing would take 3-5 days. Anyone with similar situation please advise me the time it took for you and status such as issued/denied? Thank you! TC 85000$, 2 YOE, Austin TX

Should be just a formality then. Nothing much to worry about.

I had the same experience in Chennai.. December last year. Had my interview on Thursday, got the 221g, status changed to issued on Monday. It's just some processing I guess. Nothing to be worried about.

This has become a regular occurrence over the last couple of years. It should be fine.

Wow that was quick! Did they take your passport at the consulate or did they return it to you?
