Low-Risk EB-5 Projects With Kolter and EB5AN
Highlights From the Construction Conference
The three-day event featured workshops, hands-on training, and discussions centered around Kolter’s construction processes.
Kolter’s executive team opened the conference by reiterating their core values of quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. They explained how these principles are applied throughout each stage of construction, from initial design to final closing.
Attendees participated in workshops and seminars led by Kolter’s senior leaders and industry experts, covering topics such as industry trends, land development, and customer feedback. Practical training sessions focused on specific areas like slab pre-inspections, framing, and MEP pre-inspections, giving participants the chance to apply what they learned in real-world settings.
Why Twin Lakes Is a Strong EB-5 Investment
Home to this successful construction conference, the Twin Lakes Georgia EB-5 project stands out as a top-tier project located in a rural targeted employment area (TEA), which brings several advantages to potential investors. With a minimum investment of $800,000—lower than the standard $1,050,000 for non-TEA projects—Twin Lakes offers a more accessible opportunity with strong financial potential.
Key investor protections, including a loan repayment guaranty, job creation guaranty, and priority processing of I-526E petitions, make this project even more appealing by minimizing risk and maximizing investor security.
A Project That’s Already Thriving
Twin Lakes Georgia is already demonstrating success, with over 677 of the planned 1,300 homes sold. Additionally, the project was awarded the prestigious 2023 55+ Housing Community of the Year award at the OBIE Awards.
One of the primary concerns for EB-5 investors is job creation. Thousands of EB-5 qualifying jobs have already been created, and Kolter provides a job creation guaranty to ensure all required jobs are met.
A Kolter parent company has also guaranteed the repayment of the EB-5 loans, further reducing financial risk for investors. In the rare case that an investor’s I-526E petition is denied, an approval refund guaranty ensures a prompt return of investment funds, providing another layer of protection.
Immigration Benefits and Priority Processing
For EB-5 investors, Twin Lakes Georgia not only offers financial advantages but also significant immigration benefits. As a rural TEA project, investors’ I-526E petitions receive priority processing from USCIS, significantly reducing wait times for Green Card approvals.
The project has recently achieved a major milestone, with over 100 Form I-526E approvals granted to its investors. Recent approvals have been processed in less than nine months, highlighting the advantages of priority processing in speeding up Form I-526E petition approvals.
Additionally, the rural TEA visa set-aside category currently has no backlogs and is not expected to be oversubscribed soon. This means foreign investors from high-demand countries, like India and China, can benefit from these reserved visas to get their immigrant visa processed right away.
Track Record of USCIS Approval: Five Form I-956F Approvals
Twin Lakes Georgia has already received multiple Form I-956F exemplar approvals from USCIS, verifying that the project meets all EB-5 program requirements, including its rural TEA designation, job creation plans, and loan security structure. These approvals offer confidence for investors and may shorten I-526E processing times, as USCIS can focus on personal details with the project details already pre-approved.
Low-Risk EB-5 Projects With Kolter and EB5AN
Twin Lakes Georgia offers a unique mix of benefits for EB-5 investors, including a lower investment amount, faster visa processing, and solid safeguards for both finances and immigration. The long-standing partnership between Kolter and EB5AN provides added reassurance, backed by both companies’ strong track record. This makes Twin Lakes Georgia a dependable option for investors who seek stability and security.
