Twin Lakes Is an Award Winning, Low-Risk Rural EB-5 Loan Investment Opportunity with Multiple Safety Features
Twin Lakes Georgia is a best-in-class EB-5 project in a rural targeted employment area (TEA). Because the project is in a TEA, the minimum investment amount is $800,000 instead of $1,050,000. This project offers investors many key features, including a loan repayment guaranty, a job creation guaranty, and priority I-526E petition processing.
EB-5 funds will be used to develop a single-family home community in Hoschton, Georgia. Twin Lakes Georgia is already a success, with over 700 of 1,300 homes sold to date. The project recently received the prestigious 2023 55+ Housing Community of the Year award at the 43rd Annual OBIE Awards event.
The project’s developer is The Kolter Group. Kolter is a real estate development and investment company based in the United States. It is one of the top 20 largest private home builders in the United States.
EB5AN is an EB-5 investment fund manager, USCIS-approved regional center operator, and consultancy. EB5AN helps foreign investors immigrate to the United States through investments in U.S. businesses under the EB-5 program.
Kolter and EB5AN have worked together on over 10 prior EB-5 projects, all of which have been successful.
Immigration and Financial Safety Features for Investors
Twin Lakes Georgia is a compelling rural EB-5 project with an array of features that limit immigration and financial risk.
EB-5 Loan Repayment Guaranty
EB-5 investments will be used to make a loan to fund the Twin Lakes Georgia project. A Kolter parent company has provided a loan repayment guaranty, which means that if Kolter were unable to repay the loan on time, the parent company’s assets and equity would be used to fully repay the balance of the loan.
Job Creation Guaranty
Construction for the Twin Lakes Georgia project is already underway. The project has already created thousands of qualifying EB-5 jobs. Beyond this, a Kolter parent company has provided a job creation guaranty. This guaranty means that Kolter will spend enough money on the project to ensure all jobs are created as planned.
Priority I-526E Processing
Because the Twin Lakes Georgia project is located in a rural TEA, USCIS will prioritize investors’ I-526E petitions. With priority processing, immigrant petitions are adjudicated in months instead of years. An investment in a rural project also gives access to rural set-aside visas, which account for 20% of all EB-5 visas. Having access to set-aside visas means fewer immigration delays.
I-526E Approval Refund Guaranty
A Kolter parent company has provided an I-526E approval refund guaranty. This guaranty means that if an EB-5 investor’s I-526E petition is denied by USCIS, he or she will generally be able to receive a prompt return of his or her money.
Multiple Form I-956F Exemplar Approvals
Twin Lakes Georgia (Loan) has received multiple Form I-956F exemplar approvals from USCIS. These approvals mean that USCIS has reviewed the project’s documents and found them to be compliant with the EB-5 program. By approving Form I-956F, USCIS has agreed that Twin Lakes Georgia is in a rural TEA. USCIS also accepted the project’s job creation methodology, EB-5 loan security, and other safety features. As a result, investors can have greater confidence that an investment in Twin Lakes Georgia should result in a permanent Green Card.
Multiple Form I-526E Approvals
The Twin Lakes Georgia project has received multiple Form I-526E approvals, alongside more than 200 approvals across all its funds. An investor in the current fund received their Form I-526E approval in May 2025—just seven months after filing the petition in September 2024.

“We started to focus in more on the Twin Lakes project.
