Visa approved but still shows AP
Fingerprints Nov 27th and interview Nov 28th. Interview went smooth. No 221g was issued. But it still says Administrative Processing on CEAC website. Last updated Nov 28th. Usually it should take 2 to 3 days, but haven't seen an update yet.

Anyone in the same situation?

Visa Approved but in AP
I had Finger prints on Nov 27 and Visa interview on Nov 28. On Nov 28th, I went with my Kid (US citizen), my wife and myself who needs renewal for H4 and h1b.

I am highlighting the important points here.

VO asked all sort of questions on my Employer, client and project. He asked me to hand over all the documents and went inside and came back. He suggested to send my wife and kid to hotel and asked me to stay until I being called(gave yellow slip and asked me to wait). I am the first one and I see there are almost 5-6 parties who were given yellow slip like me and asked to sit. Later after 1 hour there is another lady called me from another window and collected more information since the beginning of my first visa. All h1s, I 140s, w2s and paystubs. She was so pleasing and told me she is going to wrap the things fast. I requested to do so since I have kids and my wife waiting in the hotel room. After just 10 mins, the original VO who interviewed me called me again and said you visa has been approved and I will get the passports in 3-5 days.

On 30th, my wife visa collected from bluedart. My status still shows "Administrative processing". But last updated date has been changed to Nov 30.

Can anyone say how long will it take to process it?

Below is some history about my previous visa and situation:
I entered on H1 b visa to USA in October 2014 and then I decided to changed my status from H1 to H4 in Aug 2017 as I got pregnant and no longer wanted to work . So in Aug 2016 we cross the Mexico border to change my status to H4.
4 days later I got an email from chennai consulate that my both H4 and H1 visas has been revoked and they didn't give me reason and Only ask me visit the consulate office in India . That time I could not travel as I was 8 month pregnant
So now I don't understand why they are calling me for 2nd round of interview ,what they gonna ask me ??
Anyone experice this situation please help me out .
