"Administrative review" can mean many things. In your case, it might mean that the consul was not convinced that the relationship was genuine, but did not have enough evidence to send the petition back to DHS for revocation, so he is ignoring it and expecting that, if it is genuine, he will hear from you and if it is not, you will give up and go away.
I presume that this is a petition for your foreign-born wife. If so, do you have children? Do you visit her often? Do you have telephone records of long calls back and forth? Airline ticket stubs for visits of longer than nine or ten days? Do you write genuine letters - not just greeting cards - back and forth, discussing matters that have to do with your life, not just how much you love each other?
Affidavits, I will tell you, will not help. What you need to produce is material evidence of a genuine marital relationship. If you can't do that, all the affidavits in the world won't help you.
And calling and emailing the consul are important, too. If you don't seem interested, why should he be? Your silence simply confirms that the marriage was only for immigration purposes and you are not very interested in your wife.
Good luck!

Bud, if this dognhorse lady said it then you better believe it's the truth. Do exactly what she says.
