Hello peace of mind,

Its alright. Be positive. Just pray. When the CO says it needs to undergo administrative processing , it doesn't mean that the visa will get denied. They are just reviewing your papers and making sure that the relationship is real. I was also under AP for 3 weeks. If they don't email or give you an update. Contact them maybe after 45 days in the cgi federal website to send an inquiry. Mine also took very long and I assume that once ur case is pending it is set aside and you need to send an inquiry about your case. Check your status also at ceac.state.gov
