Job description

Xu Law Group is hiring an Immigration Paralegal!

We are not your average law firm.

We work with foreign geniuses, founders, artists, scientists, magicians, rebel coders, obscure royalties, visionaries, healers, misfits - people trying to build, create, and perform at the edge of possibility. Our clients are the kind of people you’ll want to root for. And they need a paralegal who gets them.

You’re probably our person if:

• You see typos in street signs and feel personally attacked.
• You obsess over organizing files like Marie Kondo.
• You can spot patterns, map workflows, and break down messy chaos into beautiful, glorious checklists (just kidding, we don’t use checklists, we built in-house softwares for that).
• You know that behind every successful petition is a story told well and organized clean.
• You like tech. You like people. You like making hard things easier.
• You don’t want to be micromanaged - you want to be trusted. And grown.
• You’re not afraid to ask “Why do we do it this way?” and then make it better.
• You’re fast, precise, and a little obsessive.

What you’ll actually do:

• Work directly with immigration attorneys to craft unique, narrative driven, but highly technical O-1, EB1A, and NIW petitions (the kind that win, not bore).
• Research groundbreaking work across industries - quantum physics, tattoo artistry, AI, climate science, circus acrobatics - no two days will look the same.
• Dive into national policy frameworks, global standards, and field benchmarks to support our arguments with substance and edge.
• Interview clients and pull gold from their past work, no matter how technical or niche.
• Use and help improve our in-house AI software (yes, we actually made our own, and it’s ridiculously good).
• Share feedback with our tech team to shape the future of our internal AI tools. You’ll be part of the system - and part of reinventing it.
• Occasionally roll up your sleeves and figure out how to do something you’ve never done before. (We do that a lot.)
• Have 1–3+ years of immigration experience (extraordinary ability = major bonus)
• Read and write voraciously
• Are neurospicy, and need to learn something new to stay alive
• Have worked in fast-paced law firms, agencies, or tech startups
• Speak another language
• Have the focus of a competitive esports champion, but with the emotional reliability of someone who refills the Brita without being asked.
• Are wildly curious, strangely meticulous, and probably have at least one niche obsession no one else understands (but we want to hear about it).

What we offer:

💡 A front-row seat at one of the fastest-growing immigration firms in the country

🌎 Dream clients that make your job feel like a TED Talk, every day

🧠 A legal-tech hybrid business model - one of a kind

🏖️ Remote-first flexibility with a team that gets it

💰 Competitive compensation, benefits, and real career growth

🔥 The chance to be part of a firm that’s actually doing something different

How to apply:

Send us something real. A resume is great. But also tell us why this speaks to you. Show us how you think, how you write, or how you’d help someone tell their story to the government - and win.

We’re looking for a teammate to build something extraordinary together.
