👩‍💼 The Role

As a Paralegal at Manifest, you’ll provide strategic support across complex immigration casework. You’ll be a critical partner in the case lifecycle—from client intake to final filing.

This role goes beyond paperwork. You’ll drive document collection, draft persuasive application materials, and help clients navigate a process that can be both high-stakes and high-stress.

• Draft filings: Prepare USCIS forms, draft expert cover letters, compile exhibits, and assist in building persuasive narratives for EB1-A, EB2-NIW, and O-1 cases.

• Client communication: Serve as a calming, confident point of contact—managing updates, answering questions, and maintaining strong relationships.

• Case organization: Track deadlines, monitor progress, and ensure every case stays on rails.

  Attorney collaboration: Operate as a true partner—anticipating needs, aligning on preferences, and freeing attorneys to focus on legal strategy.

• Proven track record of owning paralegal workflows from intake through filing

• Exceptional attention to detail and written communication skills

• Experience communicating directly with clients, ideally in a high-volume or fast-paced setting
