Founded by the child of immigrants, our firm brings more than 25 years of immigration experience and a commitment to providing careful, responsive representation to our clients.
We are looking for an experienced business immigration paralegal to join our team part-time for approximately 20 hours per week. This is a mostly remote position for someone in the metro Atlanta area who can work independently, stay organized, and take ownership of assigned matters.

Why You'll Love This Role
- Flexible Schedule: Approximately 20 hours per week, with the ability to work remotely most of the time.
- Substantive Immigration Work: Work directly on a variety of employment-based immigration matters in a small-firm environment.
- Independence: Take ownership of assigned matters and move cases forward without constant day-to-day supervision.

- Maintain accurate case records, deadlines, status information, and documentation in the firm's case-management and document-management systems.
- Follow the firm's established procedures and recognize when a matter requires attorney guidance.
What We're Looking For
- Business Immigration Experience Required: At least 2 years of hands-on experience as an immigration paralegal preparing employment-based immigration matters. Applicants without business immigration experience should not apply.
- Case Experience: Experience preparing multiple types of business immigration matters, including H-1B, L-1, TN, E-2, PERM, and employment-based permanent residence cases.

Tips for Your Remote Immigration Paralegal Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote immigration paralegal openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly. Remote postings at high-volume immigration firms fill fast, so applying on day one matters.
Show your async communication in writing
Remote immigration employers review how clearly you write before they interview you. Treat your cover letter as a work sample: explain a complex filing status concisely, use precise immigration terminology, and avoid any phrasing that only works in a live conversation.
Prove your case management platform fluency
Name the platforms you've used in your resume and describe what you did in them. Remote immigration firms rely on INSZoom, Docketwise, or similar tools to run distributed teams, and candidates who can step in without ramp-up time get prioritized.
Prepare for a remote skills screen early
Many remote immigration firms give candidates a short practical screen before or instead of a first interview, such as drafting a cover letter for a petition or spotting an error in a sample I-485. Reviewing common USCIS form instructions and RFE response structures beforehand prepares you for it.
Remote Immigration Paralegal Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote immigration paralegal job?
Target remote-first immigration law firms and corporate legal departments with distributed teams, since they've built workflows around remote paralegals and hire for it regularly. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, precise written communication, and comfort with case management platforms like INSZoom or Docketwise. Demonstrating that you can manage deadlines and client updates asynchronously gives you a clear edge over candidates who've only worked in-office.
Which companies hire remote immigration paralegals?
Companies hiring remote immigration paralegals right now include CIP, Dhanani Law Firm, and Wolfsdorf Rosenthal, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote openings for this role are most common at remote-first immigration boutiques, large corporate legal departments managing global mobility, and staffing firms that serve distributed employer clients.
Can you get a remote immigration paralegal job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because firms expect you to manage filings and client communication independently from day one. Remote-first boutiques and high-volume family immigration practices are the most likely to hire entry-level remotely. Completing a paralegal certificate with an immigration focus, volunteering with a legal aid organization, or building familiarity with USCIS form packages can open the door when direct experience is thin.
Do you need a degree for remote immigration paralegal jobs?
Not always. Remote employers weigh a paralegal certificate, demonstrated case management skills, and hands-on experience with immigration filings heavily alongside or instead of a four-year degree. Familiarity with USCIS petition workflows, accuracy under deadline pressure, and strong written communication often matter more to hiring managers than the credential itself.
