US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionFiance Visa taking way too long. help please

Hello everyone.

i filed a petition to bring my fiance from pakistan to california in mid july of last year. my family and i are working with an immigration lawyer as well. 

Here is what has happened: 
-all the necessary paperwork were filled out and were sent to the islamabad embassy. 
-The petition was approved on dec 31, 2008...he (my fiance) then got a packet in the mail with info he needs to fill out and return to the embassy in order to get an interview. Again, our lawyer filled it out and sent it. 
-He got the interview date on may 4th, 2009. 
-The agent said that he needed to turn in a police report and to fill out the ds forms again b/c the ones that the lawyer sent did not have the barcodes on them. 
-He filled out the forms and turned in the police clearance/report on may 23 and got confirmation that the embassy got them on may 25. they kept his passport and have it until this day.

we havent heard from the embassy since may25th. we were tolled by our lawyer that it takes about a month to process everything. it has now been OVER two months and still havent heard anything. I called the Washington DC office about 2-3 weeks ago to get the status and the lady said Administrative processing.

What is taking sooo long? i knwo people from the same country whose fiance has came from within 6 months of filling the petition, without a lawyer. We are paying a lot of money for them to help us, but looks like it isnt doing any good.

i have called the lawyer and basically was frustrated. He said it is weird it is taking so long but if there was an issue they would not have still have his passport.

i am going to call the DC office again tomorrow and see whats up. its pissing me off.

please help me...im going nuts.
