RETROGRESSION IN THE EMPLOYMENT-BASED THIRD PREFERENCE (EB-3) FOR REST OF WORLD COUNTRIES, MEXICO, AND PHILIPPINES, 1 February 2022, can someone explain what it means?
my I 485 pd is Apr 18 2022, does it mean there is no GC for me until it will move back?

Congress sets limits on the number of immigrant visas that can be issued each year. In order to adjust status to that of legal permanent resident, an immigrant visa must be available to the applicant both at the time of filing and at the time of adjudication. The priority date for cases where a labor certification is required is the date of filing of the certified PERM application not the date your I-485 was filed.
How USCIS Processes Retrogressed Visas Cases:
If, at the time of USCIS's adjudication of an I-485, an applicant’s priority date no longer meets the cut-off date published in the Visa Bulletin, due to retrogression, his or her case must be held in abeyance (put on hold) until a visa once again becomes available. If the adjudication of your Form I-485 will not require an in-person interview at a USCIS office, then your case will be held at the USCIS Service Center where you initially filed your application.
