What I'm looking for

I seek remote legal roles supporting U.S. immigration work where I can prepare filings, draft affidavits, translate documents, and collaborate with attorneys in a detail-focused, communicative team.

I am a bilingual, detail-oriented immigration paralegal based in Mexico City with advanced experience preparing a wide range of U.S. immigration applications, including VAWA, T-Visa, K-1, Adjustment of Status, EAD, FOIA, and RFE responses. I combine legal precision with strong writing and translation skills to produce accurate, well-organized filings.

In my current remote role I lead preparation and assembly of complete USCIS packets, draft and edit personal declarations, translate official documents from Spanish to English, and verify critical personal data to ensure compliance with USCIS guidelines and formatting standards. I have a background as a legal editor and translator and substantial experience collaborating with U.S.-based attorneys and remote legal teams.

I bring proven ability to analyze complex narratives, draft explanatory letters for adjudicators, and meet quality and performance goals. I am committed to clear client communication, meticulous document preparation, and upholding high standards in immigration casework.
