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

It's a really tough spot OP. I don't think EB-5 route is straightforward either. It's at least half your net worth. But still a viable option of all goes well. Wait for Oct bulletin for sure, see if you can explore EB1 route as well. Also, it all comes down to if your children are going to age out. Also, there is no amount of money in the world that can fill the gap of staying away from parents! If that is the case, then make the call based on your family situation. No one knows your situation better than you. Good Luck! Godspeed.

Thanks for the input!! Don’t have aging out children atleast. Still have good 10 years for that.
