Thanks to this experiences forum. Reading the experiences kept me at peace.

My wife was on F2 and subsequently we did Change of Status to H4 last year.
I am employed directly with product based company
This year we came for H1B & H4 stamping.
OFC Date - Dec 1st
Visa Interview - Dec 2nd.
During the interview, we were asked a bunch of questions related to job duties, college I graduated from, when me and my wife met, salary, etc.
No documents were asked.
Officer retained our passports and issued us a 221(g) blue form with the following checkbox checked("Your application is refused under administrative processing(AP). It will be reconsidered when the administrative processing is complete) and case numbers.
The officer told us "it should not take long"
Checked on CEAC website, showed as AP for both of us.
