H1B 221(g) blue slip - Administrative processing Chennai consulate
I had my visa interview on Oct 5th in Chennai consulate. The conversation with the VO was as follows:

VO: Passport please
ME: gave the passport
VO: Who is your petitioner?
ME: YYYY X
VO: Do you work for a client?
ME: I work directly work for the employer.
VO: Is this for an existing position?
ME: Yes
VO: Where will you be working in the US?
ME: YYYY
VO: What does your company do?
ME: YYYY
VO: What is your highest qualification?
ME: Masters in Computer science
VO: What is your salary?
ME: YYYY
VO: Did you complete the masters in US?
ME: yes
VO: Were you out of status anytime?
ME: No

VO was typing something in her computer and then said that she cannot process currently and requires additional administrative processing(Gave me 221g blue slip). She herself said that there is nothing to worry. When I asked her that I have planned my return journey to US in 2 weeks, she said that shouldn't be a problem.(She retained my passport)

This is my first H1b stamping after F1 stamping. I have been in H1b for 4 years.

Anyone have an idea how long will it take to get the visa issued?
