Administrative processing may mean many things, but it primarily means that your case is delayed. There may be required fingerprints that need to be done, or some background check CIS does is out of date and needs to be resubmitted.
Administrative processing is usually "security checks" - and it can be frustratingly slow. Now way to predict how long it will take, or speed it up. You will just have to be patient.
Administrative processing means that the State Department is conducting a background check on you. The case will be delayed until the background check is completed. It can take a long time that will be difficult to estimate.
