Notes:
Given white slip and stated as admin processing required. Returned my passport while interview and they mailed back my i797 in a couple of days after interview.
Any idea of why my original visa was returned? And what can I conclude since they said they would contact me if anything is needed?

Notes:
This was my 5th stamping. In US for more than 12 years. Never faced this before. VO asked only 1 question and said that they need some additional documents. He said to email those documents.
Documents requested were like Resume, Research, Past and Current work Experience, Invitation letter, travel history, funding
How much time will it take to clear after i have submitted the documents?
04/25 First Update
04-25 Got an email to submit the passport at the nearest VAC.
04-26 Passport dropped
04-30 Second update
05-01 Third update
No more updates after that. Still shows 05-01 and case under AP.
Don't know why they are taking this long? I thought it's faster once they ask for the passport but it's still under AP.
Approved on 05/14

Hi,
I attended L2 blanket interview on May 7, 2019, at Chennai Consulate. I was asked a few questions related to our wedding. I've shown the marriage certificate, wedding album and then there was some confusion happened with my husband petition. The interviewer asked me to go to another window; there was an Indian officer sitting and asked me to show my husband documents. I've shown everything, but the renewed petition created the confusion. Then I was asked to go back to the same window for a further interview with the visa officer.
It took approx 30 minutes and VO was checking with the colleague's something related to my application and finally gave me 221g blue slip and asked me to wait for a couple of days.
He took the passport and my husband's renewed petition. Since May 7, 2019, I've not seen any update on my case. It's still showing administrative processing.

We received a green slip first, then got an email to resubmit our passports( no documents asked), then we got another white 221g slip asking us to undergo medical examination(no idea why, no history, no dui nothing), we resubmitted our passorts as requested in the white slip alongwith receipts of the medical exam.
Our passports has been with the embassy for 27 working days now, no status update on CEAC website , only change was the last updated date which changed to 10-may-2019.
Has anyone here been through a similar situation? Does anyone know for how long can the embassy/consulate hold passports?
