• Independently manage a high-volume employment-based immigration caseload with accuracy and strong client service
• Prepare and file non-immigrant petitions including H-1B/H-4, L-1A/L-1B/L-2, TN, O-1, and E-3 matters

• Maintain tight case tracking, calendars, and internal documentation to ensure deadlines are consistently met
• Communicate directly with clients and stakeholders in professional, clear written and verbal English (and Spanish when needed)
• Provide proactive updates, flag risks early, and keep cases moving without constant follow-ups
• Ensure drafting and client-facing communication are human-written and professionally polished (no reliance on AI-generated messaging)
