I would say the person was being nosy or intrusive, I’d never say invasive as that conjures up something more physical. In my usage of the language, at least.

Invasive weeds or surgery… perhaps even relatives if they move into your house and won’t leave!

Invasive plants are undesirable plants that can take over your garden, and someone who asks overly personal questions is also being invasive.
It’s a great pun if you know that, sadly I’ve also never heard it used that way
