Already have an approved, stamped and unexpired L-1B visa, was advised to switch to H-1B visa, which was completed and approved while I was in the US (status adjusted). Following a trip back to the UK, I went to get the stamp for the H-1B visa, and am now in this mess!
Was given the DS 5535 "extreme vetting" questions to fill out and email, though the form I received made no mention of "DS 5535".
August 2nd 2022: Status still showing as "Refused".
September 6th 2022: Status still showing as "Refused".
November 10th: Received email to submit passport for visa issuance.
December 5th: Status now showing as "Approved"

I have attended first time H1b VISA interview on 3rd November at Chennai consulate, has been asked to provide Client and Vendor Agreement Document and issued 221g white color. Required documents were shared on 7th of November. I did mail follow up on 10th of December and got response that case is under Administrative Process but case status is still showing Refused.
May I know how long does it take to move case into Administrative Process from Refused State and can we expect is it positive sign to get VISA Stamping.

VO asked a couple of basic questions related to employment and handed me a yellow 221g paper asking to email answers to a bunch of questions like 15 years of travel, education, address history, etc. Appears to be DS-5535.
I emailed the answers the same day.
10/03/2022 Refused
11/08/2022 Administrative Processing
Received request to mail passport for visa issuance. Mailed the passport on the same day. Delays caused by Canada post.

11/22/2022 Issued
11/23/2022 Received passport dispatch email with tracking number
