J1 visa approved 3 weeks ago but still not issued; CEAC still showing Approved; got response on USvisascheduling saying 221(g)

Hi guys.

I had my J1 visa appointment at the Islamabad Consulate on June 3rd. Visa was approved by the officer immediately and she signed and stamped my DS-2019 and kept my passport. Later that day my CEAC status changed to Approved.

However it's been 3 weeks now and it's still stuck on Approved but not being Issued. I raised a complaint on the USTravelDocs portal and got a response saying it's been refused under 221(g) and is currently under administrative processing.

I'm very confused because my CEAC status is still showing Approved and has not even updated since June 3rd. I've also not received any email notifying me of the 221(g) or asking for any additional documentation.

I'm very very confused over this. Normally the CEAC updates to Refused if you're in AP but nothing of that on my end.

Please, if anyone would have any advice regarding this? I'm attaching the response and CEAC status for information.

J1 visa approved 3 weeks but passport not issued yet; portal still showing Approved; got an email today saying 221(g)

Hi guys, I had my J1 research interview on 3rd June; interview was smooth and the officer signed and stamped my ds-2019. However, i didn't receive my passport while everybody who interviewed with me received their passport within 4-5 days. Now I;ve received this response from the embassy on the ustraveldocs portal and I'm so confused because the portal still shows Approved. I haven't also received any email from the embassy for additional info. They still have my passport. Any idea what to do?
