I had my interview yesterday 18th June, the CO gave me a sheet with an instruction on how to pick my passport and visa and a sheet with my legal rights as an immigrant on a marriage-base visa and CO told me I can call the authorities if i face domestic abuse. CEAC status change from ready to administrative process on 19th June, should I be worry or it's just normal?

It does that for a few days while they finalize the paperwork and prepare the package and visa

The key is when you receive the visa.  CEAC status and online updates are not always accurate anyway.  Be patient and you should receive the visa soon.  They didn't ask for any more documents or evidence, they kept your passport, all very good signs that the end is coming soon.  Good luck!

It only changes to ISSUED when the visa is printed out. That is the only sure approval thing. The verbal approval at the interview can still change to something else, because the case is still under review.

Administrative Processing can mean so many things but in your case it is the normal.standard procedure of processing the visa and printing it in your passport. Dont be worried at all. Once they say you are approved, you are approved.

 

Now constantly check for a  notification for passport pickup from UStraveldocs

It is normal. AP is anything and everything that they have to do before they can print your visa. Everybody thinks the officer just hits the “print” button on the computer and it’ll print like a receipt. The interviewing CO has to submit his findings and decision to his supervisor, if the supervisor agrees then the section chief has to review and sign off on it. If any of those guys is busy at some secret State training or on vacation or something, things are gonna get delayed. Then if the visa printer runs out of ink and they have to wait for another shipment of the secret sauce from Washington, so that’s another delay (I just made that up. I actually have no idea if that’s true or not, but it sounds good). Then they have to do quality control on the visa. They have to run it through the machine that CBP uses at the POE to make sure it reads right, and all the information is there, so you won’t have a problem at the port of entry. And every week, every Embassy or Consulate Post can issue thousands of visas, both immigrant and non-immigrant. 

The point is, all of that together is called “Administrative Processing”

This cracked up. Was interesting reading
