Answers:

1. Blue refusal sheet 221G means that they need to complete administrative processing on your case. Pending AP means that your case is still in administrative process.

2. Usually they do both. Otherwise they just send the passport with issued visa if they had kept your passport at the time of interview.

3. In my personal opinion, dont call embassy. You will get the same information from DOS. Just keep checking with them once a week.

I would recommend to involve Senator or congressman.

Pending AP or Need additional administrative processing means same, don't panic, there is nothing anyone can do to shorten the AP. There is no time frame for AP in immigrant visa category. Keep in touch with DOS if u like.

Embassy will contact via phone or email when AP finishes.

Did they kept your passport?

You can call DOS everyday if you like. My husband was in AP for 16 months and I called everyday to check on our case. Most people call DOS once a week but it made me feel better to call everyday.
