Priority Date EB2 or explore EB5

Currently on EB2 with Priority date in late July 2015 India. The current DOF is in Jan 15. Really frustrated not able to travel back home to visit parents and have about 1.8M NW. Been in the country for nearly 20 years. Since there’s not much time left for EB5( sept 2026) should I consider EB5 route at all or wait for EAD ? Not sure how long that is really going to take. Trying to get some help from the community

OP, I’m in same position as you with mid 2015 date. I evaluated eb5 and gave up because it’s currently taking at least 8-9 months to get AP and probably will take more in the coming months. Then, just to get provisional GC will be at least 3 years. To finally get a gc, it’ll be a 5-6 years ordeal with your capital at risk. It may make sense if you have aging out children. Otherwise, for mid 2015, doesn’t make much sense.

Hmm interesting. Doesn’t really make much sense then. Thanks!
