Do you have a common name? That can lead to admin processing while they "make sure you are you".

It could be a common name but also the amount of travel visa's you've had could have also put you into AP.. they may need to check those countries for your traveling. AP can be anything sometimes you know and most of the time they don't tell you anything as to why. Just make sure you are checking your emails regularly and making sure you answer your phone they may request documents and you dont want to delay the process by not knowing they requested them. In a couple of weeks if you haven't heard anything you can call DOS (department of state) and make an inquiry.

Common name is in, say, Singh... a name a lot of people have, so that there may be hundred of other people with your same first and last name.

I'd just wait. It's a good sign they kept your passport.

It's way too early- your interview was 2 working days ago! Wait the 6 weeks they told you, then follow up.

Im confused also, CO told my case pending for administrative review but didnt give me any paper w/ request for more evidence, but at the last window the guy there told me to wait for my passport and visa delivery, i even saw him wrote OK on my folder, i just assumed that i got approved bcoz they kept my passport.... Wishingggg
