Had something similar happen to me earlier in the year. Interview date was Feb 25th, they said everything looked good except they needed additional I864A for my sponsor's father (my father-in-law). They held my passport and said as soon as the document is sent then the visa would be issued shortly after. Requested document was sent two days later (Feb 27th). I checked the status on the website daily, only to see it moved from 'Administrative Processing' to 'Refused'. Numerous calls and emails were sent to the embassy, got the same emailed response you got and was told over the phone that we should continue waiting. This went on for a few months until I got a call from the embassy in June that I was approved and that I would have to leave by July 25th as that is the expiry date of the visa. Got back my passport a week after the call and left JA in July 17th.
