PD Feb 04
PD really does not matter for EAD and AP. All it is required is pending I-485 and has applied it before the retrogression. Did you ask what is the reason for hold?sgi said:Here's my take on this, assuming you are from either from India/Phillipines/China. You stated that you are in the EB3 category.
Your PD is way ahead of the cut-off date for EB3 category which is somewhere in mid-2003. Since you are not eligible to file I-485 and it's ancillary (EAD and AP) applications.... USCIS has put it on hold.
If you are not from one of the I/P/C countries....then do not have an explanation for the EAD and AP on hold.
