This role is designed for an experienced immigration professional who is comfortable taking ownership of cases, managing workflow across staff members, and making judgment calls in a complex legal environment.

• Flag legal, procedural, or deadline-related issues early and elevate as needed
• Maintain accurate and current case statuses to ensure nothing falls through the cracks
• Use sound judgment to resolve routine case-flow issues independently, escalating to the attorney when necessary

• 5+ years of immigration law experience (EOIR and USCIS)
• Strong written and spoken English and Spanish (must be fluent in both, with the ability to draft clear, professional client communications and legal documents)
• High level of comfort with technology (Clio, case management systems, PDFs, e‑filing)
• Experience coordinating workflows
