Hi Nabina,
I had exact same story when I went to Nepal to get my H1b stamped last year. The interview went very well and I was hoping to get the visa the same day but unfortunately the visa officer handed me a letter saying my application needs some kinda admin processing....that turned out to be 221g. I was very frustrated.
I talked to my employer (manager) and described him what happened and requested him to send an email to the visa section, US embassy Nepal. He was so nice to me and he did accordingly. The consulate office called me few days after that to come pick the visa. My case was on hold for about 3 weeks. The only difference in your case compared to mine is you're working on an IT consultancy which I dont think is making any difference in this case. Good luck and I am pretty sure you will get through this in a week or two. But don't forget to talk to your employer in US.
