What are the responsibilities and job description for the Immigration Paralegal position at Snatch UP Jobs?
We're a fast-moving startup looking for an Immigration Paralegal who enjoys the puzzle of getting things right. This isn't a back-office role where you'll shuffle paper all day. You'll take complicated visa cases, untangle them, and move them cleanly through the U.S. immigration system, working face-to-face with the government agencies that make those decisions.
If you like the energy of building something, the satisfaction of a flawlessly assembled application, and the occasional thrill of being in the room with USCIS, the Department of State, or other federal bodies, you'll feel at home here.
What you'll do
You'll have real ownership from day one, a direct line to decision-makers, and a front-row seat to building a company rather than just maintaining one. The work matters. You're helping real people navigate one of the most consequential processes of their lives, alongside a team that takes the work seriously without taking themselves too seriously.

What you'll do
- Prepare, review, and file U.S. visa and immigration applications (H-1B, L-1, O-1, employment-based and family-based petitions), ensuring every form, exhibit, and supporting document is complete and accurate.
- Act as a point of contact with governmental organizations by coordinating filings, responding to requests for evidence, and representing cases professionally before federal agencies.
- Track case status, deadlines, and changing requirements, keeping clients and team members informed at every step.
- Spot problems before they escalate. When a case has a wrinkle, you'll find a smart, compliant way through it.
- Help build better systems as we grow. Your ideas on how to do this work faster and cleaner are expected, not just welcome.
- A sharp eye for detail. A missed signature or wrong date matters here, and you instinctively catch what others miss.
- Creative problem-solving. Immigration cases are rarely textbook, and you enjoy finding the path that actually works.
- Confidence dealing directly with government agencies and officials.
- Strong organization and the ability to manage multiple cases and deadlines without dropping a ball.
- Prior paralegal or immigration experience is a strong plus, though aptitude, judgment, and drive matter most.
- Authorization to work in the U.S. and the ability to work on-site in Washington, D.C.
