B2 Visa Administrative Processing

Following a visit to the US Embassy in london today for a B2 Tourist visa I was told that they would recommend my visa approval. I was then given a blue card and told to hand in my passport, it was then given back to me and I was told further administrative processing was required and to check the website for when to send my passport.

During my interview I was not told any further administrative processing was required. As I am travelling in the next few weeks I am concerned that this might take a long time. Why is there more admin processing taking place? I have been told that this might take up to 90 days - on average how long does it take for someone with no criminal record / medical illnesses etc?
 
No one can predict how long it will take. Depending on several factors and what federal agencies are involved, it can take more than 6 months at times.
