US Immigration Paralegal

About Teams Squared:

We are a team augmentation company dedicated to connecting exceptional remote talent with global organizations.

We are seeking an experienced US Immigration Paralegal with hands-on expertise in US business immigration, particularly H-1B and L-1 petitions, to support a US immigration law firm.

The ideal candidate will have personally prepared and filed H-1B and L-1 petitions and will be comfortable managing cases from intake through to filing and response. Knowledge of EB-5 investor visas is a strong advantage, and the role also includes some family-based immigration work.

Hands-on experience with US immigration filings is essential. This is a dedicated paralegal role focused on substantive legal work, not a combined legal assistant or executive assistant position. The successful candidate will work 40 hours per week on US Eastern Time.

Responsibilities:

• Prepare and assemble H-1B petitions, including cap, extension, amendment and transfer cases, together with Labor Condition Applications (LCAs).

• Prepare L-1A and L-1B intracompany transferee petitions, including supporting evidence of the qualifying relationship, role and employment history.

• Support EB-5 investor matters, including document collection, source-of-funds evidence and petition preparation, where applicable.

• Prepare family-based immigration filings, such as I-130, I-485 and related forms.

• Draft support letters, cover letters and exhibit lists, and compile complete, well-organised filing packages for attorney review.

• Assist attorneys in drafting responses to Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and other USCIS notices.

• Gather and review information and documents from corporate clients, HR contacts and beneficiaries, following up on outstanding items.

• Complete USCIS and Department of State forms accurately and file petitions with USCIS, including online filings.

• Track case status, receipt notices, deadlines and expiry dates, and keep case records up to date in the firm's case management system.

• Communicate clearly and professionally with clients and the attorney team by email and Microsoft Teams.

• Stay current on US immigration regulations, USCIS policy updates and processing changes.

Qualifications:

• A degree in Law, Legal Studies or Paralegal Studies, or an equivalent legal or paralegal diploma.

• Hands-on experience preparing and filing H-1B and L-1 petitions is essential. Please be ready to share the number of filings you have handled for each visa type.

• Candidates with around a year of strong experience in other US visa categories will also be considered, as training on H-1B and L-1 can be provided.

• EB-5 experience or knowledge is highly desirable.

• Experience with family-based immigration petitions is advantageous.

• Sound understanding of USCIS forms, filing procedures, evidentiary requirements and RFE responses.

• Proficiency in Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams is required. Experience with INSZoom or other immigration case management software is advantageous.

• Excellent written and spoken English, with strong drafting skills and close attention to detail.

• Ability to manage multiple cases and deadlines accurately.

• Availability to work full-time, 40 hours per week, on US Eastern Time.

• Ability to work independently in a remote working environment.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation package in foreign currency

• Fully remote work

• Regular initiatives for training and professional development.
