About the Role

We are a fast-growing, mission-driven immigration law firm seeking an experienced, detail-oriented, and strategic Business Immigration Attorney based locally in the Phoenix, AZ area.

Our firm specializes in pioneering pathways for DACA recipients and foreign nationals to secure their green cards through career advancement and employment sponsorship. In this role, you will lead complex employment-based immigration matters from initial consultation through final filing. As an AZ-based team member, you will also provide critical in-person client representation at local USCIS field offices.

This position is ideal for an attorney with a background in high-volume, process-driven immigration environments who excels at strategic case handling, complex visa petitions (including EB-5), and high-touch client advisory.

• Team Collaboration & Operations: Work closely with paralegals, legal assistants, and case managers to ensure accurate data entry, strict workflow compliance, and timely filings.
• Policy & Compliance: Stay current on evolving USCIS/DOL policies, precedents, and regulatory changes impacting employment-based and investor petitions.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Education & Bar Admission: Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited US law school and active bar membership in good standing (any US state bar; Arizona bar membership preferred or eligible for local court/field office practice).

• High-Volume Proficiency: Demonstrated ability to manage high-volume caseloads efficiently without sacrificing legal quality or missing deadlines.
