Okay, my fiance was given a letter after applying and interviewing for the tourist visa saying that "your case is in administrative processing" and check out the local embassy website to see if it was approved.

Well... he interviewed on April 30th. The embassy website just updated today... until April 29th, and it only updates once a month... so I went a-snoopin' because I don't like waiting!!!

Google-fu'ed my way to this website: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

Put in his embassy, put in his case number that they gave him (2013XXXXXX1)... tells me it's not valid. Well, i then look at the text under the case number box and it says (e.g., AA0020AKAX or 2012118 345 0001).... so then I put in 2013xxx xxx 0001.

Success!

I get a box that says this:

U.S. Department of State
NONIMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION
Issued
Application ID or Case Number: 2013xxx xxx 0001 Case Creation Date: 30-Apr-2013 Status Updated Date: xx-May-2013
Your visa is in final processing. If you have not received it in more than 10 working days, please see the webpage for contact information of the embassy or consulate where you submitted your application.

So.... did he get is visa?!?!?!?

Am I just getting my hopes up?!??!?!

I also did the same thing with another random case number on the updated list from the local embassy, and it came up as:

U.S. Department of State

NONIMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION
Administrative Processing
Application ID or Case Number: 2013xxx xxx 0001 Case Creation Date: 31-Jan-2013 Status Updated Date: 31-Jan-2013
Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days.

If the correct case number is typed in and it says "Issued" then it should be issued,
