Has anyone else experienced this AP

[SKYLARK647 4]

Can anyone please help me understanding this?

My fiance's visa was on November 24 and everything went smooth and at the end of the interview the CO congratulated him on his approval. Then she gave him a white paper where it was instructed that he needs to register at USTRAVELDOC. to check for visa delivery option. At the bottom of that page there was two boxes where she checked "Visa ISSUE" (other one was 221g which was not checked). All the documents were in place and he was not given any 221g and was not told that the embassy needs more time to review or process the case. She just told him that he could pick up the visa within 3-7 days.

On november 26, ceac website changed his status from "ready" to "administrative review". First I thought this could be because they are working on visa pronting and other paperwork and soon the visa will be issued. But it has been 5 days since the last update and its still under AP. I emailed the visa service desk and they replied the same thing that the case is currently under administrative processing.

My question is, is it normal to go to further security check after the visa has already been approved. Does the CO approve the visa without the green signal from FBI name check clearance (this is the possible reason for AP i can relate right not). If not, then why is my fiance still under AP when CO already approved the visa?
