So I'm planning on going back to uni again but one of the questions my legal status and how long I've been a legal resident (dates and validity).
Should I choose "NO" as my status? And I understand the dates probably refer to what you have on the green card as it has a "From" and "to".

anyway, I'm still waiting for the interview. 

thanks

If you are doing AOS and you currently only possess an EAD, you are not yet a legal resident and do not have any legal status.

You are not a legal resident until your I-485 has been approved.

Can you share the exact wording of the question? Although you currently don't have a status you are in a period of stay authorized by the Secretary of Homeland Security.
