@lalmeida
Senior compliance professional specializing in U.S. EB3 immigration documentation and end-to-end case auditing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a highly organized, detail-oriented compliance and administration professional with over 15 years of experience across legal compliance, medical practice administration, and financial roles. I bring a strong ability to manage complex workflows, stay compliant under pressure, and deliver clear updates that keep clients moving forward.
As a Compliance Coordinator with VISA SOLUTIONS USA, I lead monthly Q&A sessions and provide strategic updates for program applicants. I manage end-to-end documentation auditing to ensure files meet rigorous legal standards before consulate interviews and travel, including NVC (National Visa Center) communications and pre-consulate preparation.
I also serve as the primary point of contact for applicant queries via digital channels, ensuring high engagement and transparency. In addition, I oversee internal recruitment pre-screening, provide management reports on applicant progress, and coordinate communication with the JHB Consulate and various EU and South American consulates.
Previously, I supported immigration processing as a Legal Assistant by capturing complex Immigrant Visa Application Questionnaires on the CEAC website with 100% accuracy and maintaining comprehensive digital and physical applicant files. Earlier in my career, I ran medical billing and debt collection operations as a Practice Administrator / Debtors—handling compliance for external debt collectors—and strengthened my reliability through roles managing debt administration, bank reconciliations, and export/account support.
