Ann Arbor, United States Ellis Porter Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionSalary: $100k+ (based on experience)

At Ellis Porter, our goal is to improve the immigration experience for employers and individuals so they can thrive in a smaller world. To do this, we've built a team of dedicated immigration professionals (we call them Porters) who believe passionately in the economic and cultural benefits that immigration provides to America, and who excel at providing our clients with refreshingly clear guidance, uniquely creative strategies and remarkably responsive service, all with genuine empathy and a personal touch. 

 

Immigration law is very complex and full of constant challenges, but the Ellis Porter team embraces the grind because we love what we do, and who we do it with, and we find great satisfaction in knowing that our work positively, and intimately, impacts our clients. 

 

As a result of our unique approach to delivering immigration legal services, we continue to experience considerable growth, so this is a very exciting time to join the Ellis Porter team 

 

Our Culture: 

We're also very proud of (and protective of) our culture at Ellis Porter. It's not what you would expect from a typical law firm, because we're not a typical law firm. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We don't tolerate drama, and jerks are not allowed. We strive to create an inspiring, authentic, comfortable and flexible work environment where you are respected, encouraged to bring your whole self to work and challenged to continue your growth as an immigration professional. 

 

The Position: 

As an Immigration Attorney on our Waiver Services team, you will be part of a team of Attorneys and Case Managers that help our clients navigate the complex immigration process and overcome obstacles to obtaining permanent resident status in the United States. You will work with clients in a variety of industries, including technology, engineering, bioscience, and other emerging industries, to help them seize exciting opportunities in today’s evolving economy - it's truly rewarding work. 

  

We offer lots of flexibility in our work schedules – you can choose to work fully remote from home or in-office or hybrid in our Troy, MI or Ann Arbor, MI office. 

 

What you will be doing: 

  • Under the direction of the Waiver Services Sr. Attorney, you will work with clients to develop and implement legal strategies to overcome grounds of inadmissibility including waivers of the two-year foreign residency requirement, unlawful presence, fraud and misrepresentation, criminal convictions, and prior immigration violations
  • Conduct in-depth conversations with clients to explain the waiver process and coordinate with clients to gather detailed supporting information and evidence 
  • Answer questions about the waiver application process, timelines, and costs 
  • Prepare and file waiver applications with the appropriate government offices, in collaboration with fellow Attorneys and Case Managers (paralegals) 
  • Prepare responses to Requests for Evidence issued by government agencies 
  • Research legal issues related to waiver applications and stay informed on the latest immigration law developments 

 

What skills and experience you will bring with you: 

  • Possess a Juris Doctor degree & are a member of any US State Bar 
  • 1-5 years of legal immigration experience
  • Experience with various waiver types of inadmissibility (I-601, I-601A, I-612), and familiarity with the grounds of inadmissibility
  • Prioritize and manage a busy caseload in an efficient manner and consistent with numerous inflexible legal deadlines 
  • Collaborate professionally and effectively with team members 
  • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to break down complex legal concepts into language that is easy for clients to understand 
  • Patience to conduct frequent, and sometimes repetitive, educational correspondence and/or calls with clients summarizing their application processes and answering their questions 
  • Extremely high level of attention to detail 
  • Possess an extremely high level of emotional intelligence and empathy 
  • Take pride in delivering highly-responsive and proactive client service
  • Must be comfortable discussing the personal details of clients’ lives including, but not limited to, finances, mental health, medical issues, and past harm or mistreatment

 

What we'll provide to you: 

  • An opportunity to do challenging and highly-rewarding work at a fast-growing firm with an inspiring mission 
  • An opportunity to work with smart, creative, dedicated and supportive immigration professionals who are quality human beings and enjoyable to be around 
  • A firm culture that embraces diversity and celebrates international cultures 
  • People-centered workplace policies and flexible work schedules, including remote work opportunities 
  • Competitive compensation, health/dental/vision/life insurance benefits and a 401(k) retirement savings plan with employer matching contributions 
  • Generous time-off policies 
  • Casual attire

 

Does this position, and our culture, seem like a good fit for you? If so, we would love to speak with you about joining the Ellis Porter team
