On its basic level i consider this invocation a bit too good, not must have as what makes it too good is some gimmicks not everyone is comfortable with. That being said I do have one question which may place this over the top into full broken category. When you cast a spell from that creatures space, is it an action for the purpose of ending invisibility. As it is no longer limited to humans, and I suspect your familiar falls under the category of creatures, and you have multiple decent stealth invisible flying options.

Casting a spell from the other creature's space counts as an action (or bonus action or reaction, as appropriate to the spell) for you, not for the creature whose senses you're using. The invocation very clearly says that you're casting the spell, not the other creature. Depending on the nature of the spell, the DM might reasonably rule that this will give away the other creature's position even if they remain invisible.

That is what I thought, the range isn't massive, but you can have the invisible hidden familiar flying around with a readied action to move away once a spell is cast from its location. Toss in Goo and its ability to subtle spell certain attacks and the DM is sort of stuck designing adventures around just countering this.
