H1B 221g white slip received
Hi,

on May 14th 2019, I attended H1B interview at HYD consulate, I am working in US for my current employer since July 2017 and got my H1b approval and change of status in January 2019.

At the interview, I submitted my I797A approval notice,
Q1. Did you get one more I797A?

Ans : Yes, I got one more i797A, Initially the USCIS have me an I797A which stated the H1B visa will till sep 2020, but after some days I got one more where H1B visa will be valid till sep 2021. I submitted the newer one to the vo.

Then VO asked some normal questions,
what degree did you complete?

when did you complete your masters?

when did OPT start?

which employer did you start working immediately after OPT start?

How long have you been working for your current employer?

Have you ever been benched?
ans : No

Are you working for a client or petitioner?
ans : petitioner

Who paid the H1B visa fees?
ans : My employer

Then she said it would take 5 to 6 days to process the visa, and gave me 221g white slip. Returned my I797A but did not give me back my passport.

The 221g white slip says,

Your visa application has been refused under sec..... because your application requires additional administrative processing before a final decision can be made. No visa shall be issued....

How will this scenario be played out?
