The George McCranie Law Firm is looking for an experienced Immigration Legal Assistant to join our team in Valdosta, GA.

Our team is carefully selected to create and deliver an exceptional client experience. We're now seeking someone with hands-on immigration experience who thrives on human connection and wants to make a real difference in people's lives.

Meeting with clients in person to explain their case status, next steps, and immigration options
Preparing and organizing immigration case packages including U-Visas, AOS, VAWA, K-1 Visas, Green Card Renewals, DACA/AP, N-400, I-130, I-765, and more
Completing and reviewing immigration forms with accuracy and attention to detail
Communicating with clients in both English and Spanish to request documents, provide updates, and follow up on pending items
Collaborating with our internal team to keep cases moving forward
Maintaining accurate case notes and updating case management systems
Supporting the office by assisting with client walk-ins and inquiries when needed

What You Bring to the Role

Previous experience in U.S. immigration law as a Legal Assistant, Paralegal, or Case Manager (required)
Familiarity with immigration case types such as U-Visa, AOS, VAWA, K-1, Green Card Renewals, DACA, N-400, I-130, I-765, and similar
Bilingual in English and Spanish (professional-level fluency in both)
Strong client-facing skills - comfortable meeting with clients in person and explaining complex processes with empathy
Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to work autonomously
Strong communication and interpersonal skills
Ability to handle sensitive information with confidentiality
Computer literacy and comfort using case management systems
Authorization to work in the United States
A proactive, service-oriented mindset - those with a natural ability to connect with clients and identify their needs tend to thrive here

What You Can Expect

Competitive pay: $18–$25/hour, based on experience
Paid time off
Performance-based bonuses
Monday to Friday schedule - no weekends, no holidays
Knowledgeable, encouraging, and present leadership
Working alongside a supportive team of 40+ professionals
