About Us

Mazel Immigration Law is a boutique immigration law firm located in the heart of Oakland.

We specialize in employment-based immigration and primarily work with U.S. businesses and research institutes to secure visas for their foreign national employees. Our clients tend to say that we stay two steps ahead of government agencies in this ever-changing environment. They also appreciate our comprehensive approach that ensures their foreign national employees feel supported throughout the immigration lifecycle. It is an exciting time to work in the field of business immigration for those who relish a challenge, aren’t afraid of hard work, and want to advocate for the foreign nationals who contribute to our country.

The Role

Mazel Immigration Law is seeking an experienced or highly motivated entry-level paralegal to join our immigrant visas team, contributing to green card filings and preparing and filing PERM Labor Certification cases.

Our paralegal team is responsible for preparing and filing immigration application packages with U.S. government agencies, working closely with attorneys to strategize cases, liaising with clients, drafting forms and legal documents, and ultimately making the immigration process as smooth and successful as possible for our employer clients and their foreign national employees. This role may also involve researching the rapidly changing immigration landscape, representing the firm at vendor conferences, and managing large projects with many moving pieces.

What do we value in our staff? The ability to deliver high-quality work under pressure is key, as is excellent attention to detail and superb time management skills. As a small firm, every team member is critical: we value initiative, a can-do attitude, and a willingness to take ownership of casework and related projects.

What do we offer our staff? High-quality ongoing training and professional development at the leading edge of business immigration practice. We are a collegial small team, which means that our paralegals work closely and collaboratively with our managing partner and senior staff. You will not be a cog in a machine.
