  • Advise on sensitive client interviews, confidentiality protections, trauma-informed representation, and appropriate handling of supporting documentation.
  • Identify potential admissibility, waiver, adjustment-of-status, and procedural issues and coordinate cross-practice referrals or escalation when needed.
  • Guide staff on USCIS filing requirements, receipt tracking, biometrics, interviews, follow-up requests, and timely case progression.
  • Carry a reduced personal caseload to preserve capacity for legal strategy, quality control, mentoring, and escalation support.
  • Provide day-to-day legal guidance to assigned attorneys and functional oversight to paralegals and legal assistants.
  • Review attorney work product and filings for accuracy, completeness, legal sufficiency, deadlines, and compliance with professional-responsibility standards.
  • Serve as an escalation point for complex matters, changes in case strategy, and elevated legal or ethical risk.
  • Monitor case aging, filing deadlines, workload distribution, and quality trends; identify and escalate resource or process concerns.
  • Coordinate with lead paralegals and operations leadership on caseload distribution, workflow, training, and staffing needs.
  • Mentor and onboard attorneys, deliver constructive feedback, and support department training and consistent legal practices.
  • Participate in leadership meetings and collaborate with legal strategy and operational leadership on escalations and process improvements.

Required Qualifications and Skills:

  • J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar license in good standing in a jurisdiction relevant to assigned duties.
  • 3–5 years of immigration law experience, including meaningful experience in the assigned practice area.
  • 1–2 years of people-management, supervisory, or team-leadership experience.
  • Substantive experience with USCIS immigration practice and VAWA-based immigration relief, including eligibility analysis, evidence development, and agency filings.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage legal work while directing, reviewing, and developing other attorneys.
  • Strong legal writing, research, communication, organizational, and professional judgment skills.
  • Ability to collaborate across distributed attorney, paralegal, and operations teams and appropriately escalate legal risk.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with related humanitarian relief, adjustment of status, waivers, and cross-practice coordination.
  • Experience supervising geographically distributed teams and improving legal quality-control processes.

Supervisory Responsibilities:

Provides functional, operational, and managerial legal oversight for assigned Associate Attorneys and functional legal direction to supporting paralegals and legal assistants, consistent with organizational reporting arrangements.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
