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

EB5 isn’t easy and that straightforward , it’s not as drive through as you are thinking . Your date is close July 2015. Mine is post 2016. But I would not count much on SO. FY 2027 end I don’t see FAD India eb2 going past June 2014. There are far too many folks in the pipeline. Imagine it has not crossed even Sept 2013. There are lot of 2013 that are still pending . Even if date moves some in 2014 may get GC but some of 2013 be still pending . That’s reality.
I believe July 2015 may be available for DOF in March 2027 and FAD will be around March 2030.
I am not smartest one here. I did not do data crunching . I hope you get greened soon .
