As a Business Immigration Paralegal, you will play a pivotal role in managing complex immigration cases for employment-based clients. You will work independently, handling a high-volume caseload and ensuring seamless, professional service to clients and stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Independently manage a high-volume employment-based immigration caseload with accuracy and strong client service.
• Prepare and file non-immigrant petitions including H-1B/H-4, L-1A/L-1B/L-2, TN, O-1, and E-3 matters.
• Support immigrant processes including PERM, I-140 (EB-1A, EB-1C, EB-2, EB-3), I-485, and EB-2 NIW.
• Draft strong, compliant support letters for O-1 and L-1A filings that clearly present eligibility arguments.
• Draft basic letters for H-1B filings and simple RFE responses with clean, client-ready writing.
• Prepare detailed responses for complex RFEs, NOIDs, and PERM audit responses with well-organized exhibits and timelines.
• Maintain tight case tracking, calendars, and internal documentation to ensure deadlines are consistently met.
• Communicate directly with clients and stakeholders in professional, clear written and verbal English (and Spanish when needed).
• Provide proactive updates, flag risks early, and keep cases moving without constant follow-ups.
• Ensure drafting and client-facing communication are human-written and professionally polished (no reliance on AI-generated messaging).
