My actual Visa date ( DropBox ) was on 26th July 2022 and I was called for a in person interview at the chennai consulate on 29th August 2022. I was asked about my job, employer, Client and Vendor letter and submitted all of them. After reviewing those I was told that my application will be under administrative processing. My status still shows refused in the case status. Can someone help me understand this and any idea on how long more would it be taking ?

Biometric Appointment – 28 August 2022 at Mumbai VFS.
In person Interview - 30 August 2022 at New Delhi Location.
VO Asked for Passport and I797, then asked about why my organization will place me for US based role (reply - I am an US employee and residing in US from last 8 years – not visited India in last 5 years).
VO - Issued a yellow slip.
This is the third time I received 221G , it took around 90 days to complete administrative processing on both occasions.
CEAC Tracker status – Refused.
Case Created – 30 - Aug - 2022
Case Last updated - 30 - Aug - 2022
Anyone with similar situation of recieving 221g third time and approximate timeline it took to complete?
