F1 to H1-B Administrative Processing Chennai
I went for visa interview today in Chennai but got a 221(g) blue slip in which 'Your application requires additional administrative processing before a final decision can be made.' is checked. They retained my passport. I don't know if I left the passport at the counter small hole. If that's the case, should she call me?

My passport status at us.traveldocs.in is

Passport Status :
Your passport is still with the US Embassy/Consulate

CEAC STATUS says:
Case Initiated: 14-03-2017
Case Updated: 15-03-2017
Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days.
For more information, please visit U.S. Consulate General Chennai.

I got by H1-B visa in 2015. I came to the US in 2012 and I am going back after 5 years. These are the questions asked:

How long have you been working with the company? - 2 years
What is your Annual Salary?
What kind of company is this? Network Security company
How many employees?
Where is the world HQ?
When did it get established?
What is your highest qualification? - MS in Electrical Engg
Did you do your Masters in the US? Yes, said University name
When did you first come to the US? Jan 2012 or Spring 2012

Then she entered lot of details in her system. Took a pen and wrote the case number in the form and checked. Your application requires additional administrative processing before a final decision can be made. And told me that I don't need to reappear for the Visa. Will the answer Network Security to the third question put me in Technology Alert List.

I would appreciate any input. Please help.
