You were not actually approved at the interview.  All cases go through administrative processing afterwards.  Some cases and some countries require additional or extended checks, etc.  Final approval is signified by the CEAC status changing to "Issued".

You just scared me! 

they took my passport and told me everything is alright, congratulations, you will receive your passport within 7-10 days. 
How am i not actually approved? Is there any chance i might get my passport back with no visa stamp?

As I said, ALL cases go through some form of processing after the interview.  The only REAL indication of approval is when the status changes to "Issued".  Having said that, if the consulate officer recommends approval, the status will likely change to "Issued".  Just be aware that there have been cases where the AP was extended.

Very unlikely in your case, imo.   Just watch for the status to change to "issued".

We remained in AP for less than 24 hours then status changed to issued! Hopefully this is your case too. 
 

good luck to you 🤞🏻
