Jennifer Hermansky (Jen), an Associate in the Firm's Philadelphia office, focuses her practice on both employment-based and family-based immigration.
A member of the Eb-5 immigrant investor team, Jen has prepared and filed numerous successful I-526 petitions, both through regional center investments and individual investment opportunities, along with filing corresponding I-829 petitions to remove the conditions on permanent resident status. She also works with developers on options available for funding new projects that might qualify for EB-5 investments, either based on individual EB-5 petitions or through new or existing regional centers. She has extensive experience reviewing and editing both regional center and project business plans, economic reports, securities offering documents, and corporate documents for Eb-5 issues. She has prepared and filed I-924 applications for initial regional center designations, regional center amendment applications, and exemplar I-526 petitions for project pre-approval by USCIS. Jen also has prepared template I-526 and I-829 petitions for regional centers that were distributed to investors and their attorneys for filing with USCIS. She also has advised regional centers on record keeping for USCIS reporting requirements, record keeping for I-526 and I-829 petitions and job creation, and general regional center organizational, management, and staffing issues.
Jen is currently admitted to practice law in Pennsylvania, and is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. She is Co-Chair of the New Members Division of the Philadelphia Chapter of AILA, and is Vice Chair of the Immigration Committee of the Administrative Law Division of the American Bar Association. A graduate of Drexel University (B.S., summa cum laude, May 2005), Jen also received her law degree from Drexel University's Earle Mack School of Law (J.D., cum laude, May 2009). While in law school, Jen was invited to become an inaugural member of the Moot Court Board, and competed at New York University's annual immigration moot court competition.
