You're in administrative processing. You need to wait for it to complete

The true indication of visa approval is when your CEAC status turns to "ISSUED".  It's common here on VJ to read about visa applicants reporting "verbal approval" at the interview, yet they had to wait weeks or months due to administrative processing before getting their visa.  Nothing for you to do now but wait.
