Hours: Full-time (EST Hours)

Location: Remote

Rate: R32,000 per month

This opportunity is well suited to a South African-qualified attorney looking to build on their existing US immigration experience within an international legal practice. Candidates who are not admitted attorneys but have substantial relevant experience in US employment-based immigration will also be considered. Experience with H-1B visas and EB-5 immigrant investor matters would be particularly advantageous.

• Communicate professionally with clients to obtain necessary information and provide updates where appropriate.
• Keep supervising attorneys informed of case progress, outstanding requirements and relevant developments.
• Manage multiple immigration matters while ensuring accuracy, confidentiality and timely completion of assigned tasks.

Requirements

• Prior US employment-based immigration experience is essential. General legal experience alone will not meet this requirement.
• Hands-on experience with H-1B and/or EB-5 matters is preferred.
• Excellent written English and strong drafting and research skills.
• Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple matters and deadlines.
• Confident client communication and discretion when handling confidential information.
