Find the Best EB5 Visa LawyersThe I-526 and I-485 can be filed concurrently since a change in the rules.
It has nothing to do with those priority dates.

Find the Best EB5 Visa LawyersYou can file Form I-485 concurrently with I-526 or I-526E if the visa bulletin is current for your country of birth in the applicable EB-5 category. For most countries, EB-5 visa bulletin is now current, except for individuals born in China and India in the EB-5 unreserved category (EB-5s filed pre-RIA and projects outside of TEA).

Find the Best EB5 Visa LawyersThe EB-5 is unrelated to any Form I-140 EB category, so the previous EB-2
priority date will not affect the EB-5 process. Aside from that, the EB-5
may be filed concurrently, as long as the investor's nation of birth does
not have an EB-5 waiting list for the visa category sought.
