I just checked my status it says Administrative Processing. I hate these two words with passion . Should i be worried? Anyone knows about it?

I have been in AP since the interview on the 18th. Something delayed our medical being sent in..... SOOO annoying that the last thing that could be delayed is delayed.

[MalachiPDX 111]

Not trying to make you worry. Just expressing my rage at my situation. I think AP is just like "pending" ..
