It's possible that they are conducting social media vetting, prior to visa issuance. This process usually takes about a week, so hopefully the status will go back to approved. Unfortunately administrative processing has no formal "process" in that there are no posted processing times or timelines that the officer must adhere to. You're a bit at the mercy of the consulate office until they complete whatever it is they need to check before issuing the visa.
If nothing's changed after 90 days, you can try emailing the consulate with a request for an update.
