I had read in another forum that even if you have recived the AP if your case is still in process it is not safe to travel because you could be denied entry. that is why i am asking

That's what AP is for - if your case wasn't still processing, you wouldn't need the AP.

Only in a case where a person is adjusting status through marriage to a US-Citizen after a long OVER-STAY on a non immigrant visa.

The Overstay can cause a denied entry.

EAD does not grant you re-entry permission... that is what AP is for... In your situation, even if you had AP it might not get you back in because of the overstay... Do not leave until greencard is in your possession

SIR - THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD ADVICE! BETTER TO BE SAFE

"how long" could be considered as overstay ? and on what ground reentry on AP could be denied ?

Is there any specific instructions about that ?

I would, specially since your AOS interview is so close.

And if you have 2nd thoughts about it, here is an article, which although is not a k1 visa person, it goes to show you that you don't play around when it comes to immigration matters in this post 9-11 world!
