Posted 3 weeks ago

Summary

Stop hunting gigs. Start building a career. We are a California-licensed US immigration law firm scaling fast: a guaranteed pipeline of 25–30 employment-based cases per month, growing to 40+, through a partnership with a large international structure. We’re hiring full-time petition writers — not for a project, for the long run. Here’s what makes this different from every other post you’ll read today: 🔒 Consistent volume, every single month. No dry weeks. No chasing clients. The cases come to you — EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1A/O-1B — with complete evidence files, a strategy already set by the attorney, and templates that work. 🎓 You’ll be trained directly by a 30-year US immigration veteran. Our Head of Legal Production has spent three decades building winning petitions. His Method — petition architecture, evidence strategy, RFE thinking — gets transferred to you, hands-on. This mentorship alone is worth more than most salaries. 🤖 You’ll work with an AI-augmented pipeline. Evidence mapping, first-draft generation, consistency checking — our custom CRM does the heavy lifting. You focus on the craft: sharpening arguments, not formatting exhibits. 📈 A written promotion ladder — blind to politics: • Drafter → base retainer + pay per validated case + speed-quality bonuses • Confirmed Drafter (10 clean cases in a row) → raise + self-QC autonomy • Senior Drafter (proven autonomy) → raise + you train the next generation 💵 Paid in USD, on international standards, 100% remote. Base monthly retainer + $25–35 per validated case on top. Top performers clear significantly more than their base — and the ladder keeps raising your floor. Your total grows with your output, every single month. 🌍 And the horizon: we’re not building a law firm — we’re building a legal group. New verticals beyond immigration are coming. The people who build this machine with us grow with it. WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR: • You have drafted 20+ EB-1A / EB-2 NIW / O-1 petitions end-to-end (full petition letters — not just exhibit assembly) • You know Kazarian’s two-step analysis cold, and Matter of Dhanasar for NIW • You can explain the difference between O-1A and O-1B, and when to use an agent vs. employer petitioner • You have personally handled RFE responses and can tell us about one • • Excellent legal English writing. Reliable. Deadline-driven.
