Hi,
I had my Immigrant visa interview today for F4. At the end of interview CO handed over ma a white letter stating that
" Thank you for interviewing at US Embassy Islamabad. You visa has been denied under the provision of us immigration and nationality act.
If you have any questions, you may fax us at xxxxxxxx, or submitting email at http://islamabad.embassy.gov/contact-information/visainquries.html. you may also check on status of your case at https://ceac.state.gov/ceas."

and on the letter CO only tick on

"SECTION 221(g) your case requires additional administrative processing. It is your responsibility to keep Embassy updated if your address or phone number changes. we recommend you contact us every two months to check on the status of your case if you have questions or if you need to update your contact information you should notify us via our online query page at http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin.html "

And CO keep my passport and advised me to call us if you don't hear from us with in 4 to 6 weeks.

I want to know what is this am I denied and if yes then why CO hold my passport and what I or petitioner can do now.
 
221(g) is not a denial. It just means that the consulate is not in a position to make a final adjudication on your case. I am guessing that your background checks is still pending.

Thank you for your reply and giving hope. I was under AP in 2007 and which took 22 months and got H1B visa. I visited the USA and I have also Police clearance report from FBI as I applied it before leaving USA.
