Bilingual immigration paralegal specializing in high-volume case management.
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) immigration paralegal with 11+ years of experience across non-profit and private practice settings. I manage high-volume caseloads while preparing complex legal filings and maintaining clear, trustworthy communication with clients, attorneys, and government agencies.
I’m known for exceptional organization and attention to detail, especially when case timelines are tight. I handle legal case management end-to-end—client intake and screening, evidence gathering, deadline tracking, and resolving complex administrative challenges in fast-paced environments.
I’ve supported a wide range of immigration matters, including asylum, adjustment of status, employment authorization, TPS, SIJ, U Visa, and waivers. I coordinate with USCIS, EOIR, ICE, NVC, and other agencies to obtain records, support case follow-up, and ensure filings are accurate and complete.
I also strengthen cases through legal research, FOIA requests, and careful records management using tools like Prevail case management software. From drafting declarations and evidentiary packets to translating documents and interpreting communications, I focus on producing dependable, client-centered work.
