They aren't on hold - they are subject to new security checks on teh USC - no-one knows yet how much delay this may cause.

There's a very long thread in this forum (K1) about info on IMBRA' which you can read.

They are on hold in the respect that nothing can be approved until DHS creates a new form to collect information on the "possible criminal background" of the USC who filed the petition. Since the form has not yet been created and approved, nothing can move forward in terms of approval until this is finished. Right now it's impossible to know when petitioners will receive the new form to fill out but it looks as if they are moving in the right direction and that the form will be provided to the USC some time in the next 30-60 days. That means they can continue working on your petition if you filed after March 6, but that they will get to a point where they cannot proceed until the additional information is provided.
