• Communicate with clients to gather information, clarify facts, and request supporting evidence.
• Track deadlines and maintain accurate case status updates.
• Conduct research as needed on case-specific topics, professional fields, and USCIS policies and trends.

• Excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills (this is a writing-heavy position).
• Strong logical reasoning and ability to build clear, persuasive arguments from evidence.
• Strong research skills and ability to synthesize complex information into compelling narratives.
• Meticulous attention to detail.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple deadlines.
• Professionalism and discretion in handling sensitive client information.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with a small team.

• Prior experience with immigration law, especially NIW, EB-1A, or RFEs.
• Experience in legal writing, academic writing, journalism, or other writing-intensive roles.

• Bachelor’s degree preferred, especially in a writing- or research-intensive field (e.g., English, Communications, Journalism, Political Science/International Relations, History, Philosophy).
• Equivalent professional experience and demonstrated writing ability will be considered in lieu of a degree.
• PTO and paid holidays.
• Work from home Mondays and Fridays
• In-office Tuesdays–Thursdays
• The firm anticipates offering health insurance and additional benefits after 12 months of continuous employment, subject to strong performance and evolving firm needs.
