H1B, H4 Visa

Hello - This is my first H1b. I had my interview in New Delhi on January 3. The interview was hardly a minute. I work for the state government. The VO didn't even ask for my salary. He said I can pick up my passport in a week. My case went into admin processing on Janury 3 (date of interview) and there has been no update since. I emailed the embassy and received the response below-

"Your application is refused under Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act for administrative processing. After administrative processing is complete, the application will be reconsidered. U.S. immigration law requires that additional steps be completed in some cases before a file can be advanced for adjudicative review.

The Department of State is continuously working to expedite visas. Please be assured that we will contact you as soon as your case is processed to conclusion. You can also check the status of your visa online at: https://ceac.state.gov/CEAC/."

I wasn't given any slip after the interview so I am confused. Is this a generic response? I am very worried given the word "refused" in the email. Can someone please shed some light on what might be going on? Is admin processing a generic term for 221g. I'll be on leave without pay if I don't get my visa this week. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
