H1B 221g and approval slip handed by VO
Currently I am in H1B visa. My interview was on Dec 3rd 11:30 am in Chennai consulate.

VO: asked for passport docs
VO: company name, salary, place of employment
Me: stated these
VO: Are you employed directly with company or are they your client?
Me: directly employed with company
VO: Ok I am giving you this slip but this doesn’t mean refusal. My system is not working and not going to next page. There is an issue with the system. The person before you had the same situation and I had to hand this slip. I have never ever encountered this situation in the past.
Me: ok what is this when would you make decision
VO: hopefully this afternoon hope soon. As soon as system is backup I can verify this is legit application and can approve. It is most likely approved but need to check in system. Here is the approval slip please keep this as well. Once approved it takes 3-5 business days to get passport
Me: ok thanks is there anything I need to do or need to appear again
VO: no no need.
VO kept passports with him and attached something (possibly to process later???)

This is so weird that he hasn’t seen this situation, I checked with my lawyer she also is not aware of this type of situation. I know for sure there is at least one other person who was before me in the line had the same case. I wonder why they cannot simply redirect me to a different counter if his system is having issues. Looked like the other counters had decisions made without issues.

If any of you had similar case please share your experience. My status still shows as admin processing. Based on what VO said I was hoping he would clear it same day and would show as approved by now, but no.
