administrative processing 221g

HI,

I entered the U.S last year on a H2B working visa, i was working for a football coaching company. my plans were to change to an f1 visa in order to further my education due to the fact that the job i was doing wasnt a career type of job. i already have a bachelors degree and only wanted to take some pre requisite courses in america to allow me to go to medical school at home in England.i realised that when in medical school i wouldnt have time to travel and i found a college i loved that was fairly cheap. anyway, i filed an I-539 to change from H2B to F1 status. after 8 long months it was finally approved on february 11th 2010. it had been a year since i had been at home and i missed my family terribly and i got the horrible news that my grandad had been taken into hospital. so after this approval i thought i can go home to visit fully knowing that i would have to apply for an f1 visa to come back. i was very confident about going to the embassy thinking iv been approved from within the US by USCIS, so iv had name checks and everything done. i thought i would go into the embassy they would see my approval letter and already stamped and approved i-20 and i would get the visa. however the consular officer in london somehow wasnt convinced by my story she couldnt see the reason i wanted to study at a college when i already have a degree, and decided to send it into administrative processing 221g. i have no idea why. but im halfway through my spring semester, my teachers are expecting me back by the 22nd march and apparently it can take up to 90 days to process.can anyone shed any light on this?? i just dont understand why after i have already been granted f1 status by USCIS and have recently undergone 8 months of name checks. plus all my documents are approved.and if anybody could estimate a possible guess at when i could be approved??
