Something normal.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Administrative Processing is normal.  However, some cases require longer to complete.  Visas are not approved until after administrative processing is complete.  The fact that they kept your passport is a good sign.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

The letter said the consular officer Refused to issue my visa, and decided to put my case in additional Administrative process

Technically an VISA is either ISSUED or REFUSED.   AP while they still have the PASSPORT means it is still being considered.

 

Anything come up at the interview?  Did they have the medical report?  Did they ask for additional info or documents?

They asked my affidavit of support , and Medi-Cal sealed envelope, criminal record and birth certificate and gave those documents to them, so they never asked anything anymore at all

Keeping your passport is a good sign. It’s not a guarantee, but it means they think they can clear up whatever they need to check and issue the visa. 

Oooh thanks,  we'll need to wait and we see in couple weeks maybe
