Notes:
I was an F1 student as an undergrad but I have been working in India these past 5 years. I applied for a new F1 to start grad school. After a great interview, I was told "Visa is refused for Administrative Processing" and handed a blue slip. My heart sank and I thought of every possible infraction I might have committed as an undergrad...did the consulate find out that I was drinking beer under the age of 21? First status update happened on 29th...still Administrative processing. But I had heard that status updates are a good sign and sure enough, today it shows as Issued.
Hang in there everyone...my best guess is that Admin Processing are usually not rejections.

Notes:
The VO asked basic questions:
(1) About my Master's degree.
(2) Whether I did Master's in F1 or H4.
(3) Whether I was out of status in H4.
VO said they need to verify additional information. They kept my passport with them, told I don't have to submit any additional documents and wait for 1 to 5 business days. If any additional documents are needed then they will contact us via email.
I did my MS in Computer Information Systems (CIS) which is not related to any Technology Alert List(TAL) fields. I did my MS being on H4 visa, during the course of my study I filed a change of status from H4 to F1 but the case was in pending for more than 6+ months and since I had to travel to India the change of status application got automatically revoked once I left the country and I continued to remain on H4. I entered back into US on H4 and our latest H1b & H4 extension was filed after that and approved without any issue.

Any suggestions?

Submitted passport for visa stamping but instead, got the Blue slip.
6/15 : Attended the interview with all the documents requested, but VO asked basic questions, didn't check any documents. Just checked the client letter and handed over another Blue slip which says, 'Additional Administrative Processing'.
