EOIR Immigration Paralegal

Verde Law • Full-time • Miami, FL, US • 5h ago

Verde Law, PLLC is a fast-growing bilingual immigration and personal injury law firm headquartered in Miami and serving clients across all 50 states. Our immigration practice is centered on removal defense before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) — asylum, bond, Cuban Adjustment Act, cancellation of removal, and appeals — alongside affirmative filings with USCIS.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will be the managing our immigration court cases — preparing removal defense matters from case setup through the individual hearing. You will work directly with our attorneys and a supervising paralegal on a docket where the stakes are a person's ability to remain in the United States. This role is built for someone who has real EOIR experience, treats court dates as sacred, and takes pride in filings that are complete, organized, and on time.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Prepare and assemble EOIR filings — pleadings, motions (bond, continuance, termination), briefs, and evidence packets with exhibit and witness lists formatted to the EOIR Practice Manual
Prepare I-589 asylum applications, Cuban Adjustment Act filings, EOIR-42B cancellation applications, and supporting client declarations
E-file through ECAS and calendar every master calendar hearing, individual hearing, and call-up deadline the moment it is known
Keep matter records complete and current in Clio — A-numbers, court dates, detention status, and filing history
Communicate with clients in Spanish and English: gather documents and evidence, draft declarations, and prepare clients and witnesses for hearings
Submit and track FOIA requests (EOIR, USCIS, ICE, CBP) and review the records received
Conduct country-conditions research and index supporting evidence
Give same-day priority to detained and emergency matters

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

2+ years of immigration paralegal experience, including direct EOIR / immigration court (removal defense) work — required
Full professional fluency in Spanish and English, spoken and written — required
Working knowledge of ECAS e-filing and the EOIR Practice Manual
Hands-on experience building asylum (I-589) evidence packets; Cuban Adjustment Act or BIA appeals experience is a plus
Experience with Clio or comparable case management software preferred
Exceptional organization and deadline discipline
