New H1B, VO retained passport with status AP and blue slip 221g but PP ready for pickup
Hi,

On 18th Nov 2019, I had my H1B visa interview at the Chennai Consulate. My passport was taken but informed me that it is currently under administrative processing. Even today the status of my visa stamping show Administrative Processing but I received an email today from the embassy that my passport is ready for pick up. the details of the interview are as follows:

1. What is your designation at the joining company?
A: Answered

2. Since how long have you been working with them?
A: This is the first time I'll be joining them

3. Where is the company that you are joining?
A: Answered

4. Can you tell me your responsibilities?
A: Answered

5. So, will you be working at the client?
A: No, I will be working from my joining company itself but on the project of the Client

6. What is your pay?
A: Answered

7. Can you show me your client letter?
A: I don't have the client letter but I do have the letter from my Project Manager

8. So, your client doesn't provide a letter?
A: I think so, else my company would have provided me even with that.

9. Ok, can you also gimme your LCA copy and the petition document?
A: sure, and handed them over.

Then the VO went behind and had a very brief discussion with somebody came back and handed me over the blue slip 221g with all the documents except LCA and informed that the visa is under Administrative Processing.

Today, 20th Nov 2019, I have received an email from ustraveldocs.com that my passport is ready for pick up from the location I have chosen but still the status of my visa stamping is showing Administrative Processing.

Has anybody faced this earlier? Can somebody throw some light on such issues and the outcomes?

Thanks in advance guys!
