Retrogression while is I-485 pending

[rollingstone]

Folks,

If an applicant has applied for I-485, and the visa dates retrogress later, will the application be held up till the dates become current for that PD? Or will they approve the I-485 just because at the time of the application visa numbers were available? What about AP/EAD/namecheck? Will these get held up too?

Yes.

No.

What about AP/EAD/namecheck? Will these get held up too?

The name check, probably. The EAD/AP definitely not, since these do not depend on a current PD.
