No, they are not invasive in the states that ban them. Some years back - more than 35 because I have wanted gooseberries that long - there was some disease that affected a plant similar to gooseberries/currants. Some states banned those along with the prime culprit on general principles. Fairly recently Mass has lifted the total ban so that you can get a permit on a town by town basis.
