I am not a 100% sure about this but I think you're not going to get your passport back until the embassy finishes processing your case. If your approved (which I think you are since they kept your passport) they will mail your passport to you with your visa on it. If theyb think you're not eligible to obtain a visa right now they'll send you your passport without a visa and issue you a 221g (if you applied for K1 visa, may be they issue 221g for other types of visas too). This form states your visa was denied. So all you can do wait and hope they process your case soon.

good luck!

You can request your passport back when AP takes longer. Get in touch with the embassy. You'll have to obviously return the passport before they can issue the final visa.

You have a right to your passport after a certain period of time has passed since the interview if it's required for a reason (travel to other countries, etc). Contact the embassy and explain your reason.. as well as procedures on how to return the passport back to the embassy.

Be mindful that any foreign trips could potentially invite further scrutiny and possibly lengthen AP.
