About LegalOS

LegalOS is a YC-backed immigration law startup that combines cutting-edge AI with experienced attorney oversight to deliver faster, smarter visa petitions. We specialize in business immigration—O-1A/O-1B extraordinary ability, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and H-1B visas—and operate an attorney-in-the-loop model where AI accelerates research, drafting, and case strategy while licensed attorneys make every legal decision.

We’re a small, high-output team that punches well above its weight. If you want to do meaningful immigration work, learn fast, and help build something from the ground up—this is the role.

The Role

We’re looking for an Immigration Operations Lead with hands-on experience in business immigration—whether that’s as a paralegal, immigration assistant, or in another operational role at a firm or company that handles employment-based visas. You should know visa categories like O-1A, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and H-1B inside and out—not from a textbook, but from actually building cases, assembling evidence packages, and navigating USCIS adjudication standards. You know what a strong petition looks like and what gets an RFE.

You’ll own the operational side of our case portfolio—managing timelines, coordinating evidence collection, preparing filings, and communicating directly with clients over email, video, and Slack throughout the petition process. You’ll work alongside our supervising attorney and client-facing team to make sure every case is strategically airtight and filed on time.

This is not a traditional immigration role. We’re building at the intersection of AI and immigration law, and we need someone who’s genuinely excited about that. You’ll use AI-powered tools daily to draft petition documents, analyze case strategy, and build evidence packages. We don’t need you to be a technologist—we need you to be a sharp immigration professional who sees AI as a force multiplier for doing better legal work.

What You’ll Do

•      Manage a portfolio of business immigration cases (O-1A, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, H-1B) from intake through approval—you own the case, not just pieces of it

•      Build petition packages that win: draft cover letters, structure exhibits, compile and organize evidence of extraordinary ability or national interest

•      Coordinate evidence collection with clients—chase down recommendation letters, compile publications and citation records, gather awards, press coverage, and salary data

•      Draft and refine petition narratives and support letters using AI-assisted tools, flagging unverified claims and weak spots for attorney review

•      Conduct case assessments: evaluate client profiles against USCIS criteria, identify evidence gaps, and recommend filing strategies before the attorney consultation

•      Communicate directly with clients over email, video, and Slack—provide status updates, answer procedural questions, manage expectations, and keep cases moving forward

•      Monitor USCIS processing times, policy updates, and RFE trends—you’re the team’s source of truth on what’s happening at the agency

•      Help improve and systematize our internal workflows, templates, and AI-assisted processes as we scale

Who You Are

You’re smart, self-sufficient, and relentlessly detail-oriented. When someone describes their background, you’re already mapping it to O-1A criteria or thinking about whether NIW is the stronger play. You’ve seen enough cases to know what evidence actually moves the needle with USCIS and what’s filler. You pick things up fast, you don’t let things fall through the cracks, and when you get feedback you actually incorporate it—quickly and without needing to be told twice.

Must-Haves

•      3+ years of hands-on experience in business immigration—as a paralegal, immigration assistant, case coordinator, or similar operational role where you personally prepared and filed employment-based petitions (O-1, EB-1, EB-2 NIW, H-1B)

•      Deep familiarity with USCIS evidentiary standards, filing procedures, and forms (I-129, I-140, I-485)—the kind of knowledge that comes from building real cases, not just reading about them

•      Extremely detail-oriented—you catch inconsistencies in dates, job titles, evidence, and filing requirements before they become problems, and you take pride in getting things right the first time

•      A quick learner who can absorb new tools, processes, and feedback rapidly and apply them independently going forward

•      Strong written communication: you can draft persuasive petition narratives, articulate a client’s extraordinary ability, and write client-facing messages that are clear, professional, and on-brand

•      Self-sufficient and organized—you can manage multiple active cases simultaneously, prioritize without hand-holding, and proactively flag issues before they escalate

•      Receptive to feedback and committed to continuous improvement—you take coaching well, integrate it into your work, and don’t repeat the same mistakes

•      Comfortable communicating with clients across multiple channels (email, Slack, video) and keeping them informed without being prompted

•      Genuine interest in working with AI tools to do better immigration work—you don’t need prior AI experience, but you should be curious, adaptable, and excited about what’s possible

•      Available to work in person at our San Francisco office at least 3 days per week

Nice-to-Haves

•      Direct experience with O-1A or EB-1A petitions—you understand extraordinary ability criteria and how to structure evidence across multiple prongs

•      Paralegal certificate or bachelor’s degree in a related field

•      Familiarity with legal tech platforms, case management software, or document automation tools

•      Startup or small-team experience—you thrive without heavy process and can figure things out independently

•    Bilingual (any language)—many of our clients are international professionals
