Immigration Paralegal

Immigration Paralegal On-Site | Full-Time | Monday–Friday | $50,000–$55,000/year | Fort Lauderdale, FL About the Role You'll work directly with our attorneys on immigration matters — preparing petitions, assembling evidence packages, tracking deadlines, and keeping clients updated on where things stand. Our work is business, family, and investor immigration, so you'll see everything from a family petition to an E-2 or EB-5 filing. This isn't a remote or hybrid role, and that's deliberate — a lot of what we file still goes out on paper, and it gets assembled and mailed from our Fort Lauderdale office. You also won't be doing asylum, humanitarian, or removal work; this is planning and petitions, not court and crisis. A year of immigration experience is enough to start here. We'll build on it.
