Hi All -
I attended the visa interview on May 11th 2017. The interviewer asked me
1) Employer Name, Client letters, Duration of project, LCA
once after i provided the documents, i was told to wait for some time. After 30 mins an Indian lady asked me to come and she told me to provide almost al the docs
1) Payslips (Feb month payslip is not ther as i have took personal time off durin that time), she insisted me a lot on this one.
2) Client documents and ID card (Multiple vendors and their roles with respect to my work)
3) W2
4) Client location and address
After that she asked me to wait, 20 Mins later an Visa interviewer asked me to come and gave me a blue slip (Additional admin processing ticked in it) and handed me all my documents and passport and said that my case needs additional processing and it will take few weeks to get the process completed and does not need to appear for interview again and no additional docs needed
Any one with similar visa process and any suggestions

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.
Similar experiences?
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'.
