[Hiring] Immigration Paralegal @Manifest Law

Role Description

Partner closely with one of Manifest's business immigration attorneys to execute high-volume, high-quality work for corporate clients — leading primarily PERM and H-1B case preparation from intake through filing, with additional exposure to L-1s, E, TN, visas, and extraordinary-ability matters (EB-1A, O-1, EB-2 NIW) as needed.

• Guide clients through document collection and evidence gathering, ensuring everything is complete, accurate, and compliant with USCIS and DOL requirements.
• Prepare USCIS forms and draft clean, persuasive, well-organized case materials tailored to each petition type.
• Serve as a professional, steady point of contact for corporate HR partners and foreign-national employees — handling updates, expectations, and process explanations with clarity and confidence.
• Track deadlines and manage a substantial, simultaneous caseload with meticulous records, so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Anticipate your supervising attorney's needs, aligning on preferences and enabling them to focus on higher-level legal strategy.

Qualifications

• Minimum 3+ years of experience in U.S. corporate immigration, including significant hands-on experience with full cycle PERMs and H-1Bs.
• Experience managing high-volume corporate workloads and working directly with HR stakeholders.
• Comfort owning paralegal workflows from intake through filing.
• Strong drafting skills and exceptional attention to detail.
• A track record of direct client communication in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
• High organization, reliability, and the ability to juggle multiple deadlines smoothly.
• Comfort with legal technology, case management systems, and process improvements.
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset.
• Bonus: experience with L-1s, E-1/E-2, EB-1A, O-1, or EB-2 NIW cases.

Benefits

• Higher-agency work: Manifest OS absorbs intake, status-chasing, and document assembly, so more of your day goes to the substantive work that actually uses your skills.
• Real partnership with the attorneys you support: You're treated as a strategic partner, not a task queue - your judgment and workflow ownership are part of what makes a pod run well.
• Remote by design: The entire legal side of the firm works remotely, and there are no plans to change that - work from wherever you do your best work.
• Ground floor: Manifest is growing quickly, and paralegals who build a track record here have a clear line of sight to more senior case and workflow ownership as the practice scales.

Our Use of AI in Recruiting

Manifest uses AI-powered tools to support administrative aspects of our recruitment process, such as organizing applications and surfacing candidate information for review. Some interviews may also be recorded and transcribed using an AI note-taking tool, used solely to support accurate note-taking — it does not score, analyze, or evaluate candidates in any way. These tools do not make hiring decisions, and no candidate is advanced, screened out, or otherwise dispositioned without review by a member of our human recruiting team. You are welcome to ask any interviewer for a non-recorded conversation instead. If you would like to request a reasonable accommodation or an alternative application process at any stage, please contact your recruiter.
