What I'm looking for

I draft client affidavits, legal arguments, and cover letters for USCIS submissions. I also research immigration statutes, regulations, and policy updates, and review supporting documents and country condition reports.
At Ramos Law Firm, I prepared immigration applications and petitions, drafted filings and correspondence for USCIS and EOIR, and communicated case updates to clients. I also trained and mentored junior paralegals and administrative staff.
Previously, at Murray Osorio PLLC, I led and mentored a team of paralegals, managed high-volume caseloads, and supervised the preparation, review, and filing of legal documents. My experience also includes client intake, legal research, document translation, and administrative support.
