Full Job Description
Description
The ideal candidate has demonstrated experience managing H-1B cases end to end, applying sound judgment throughout the petition process, and brings a working knowledge of J-1 and PERM processes. You'll handle a mix of straightforward and complex cases, manage filings from start to finish, and think critically through evolving immigration challenges.

The team also develops creative programming that helps international candidates connect with Memphis and feel at home in their new community.

This is a great opportunity to grow within the employer side of immigration - expanding your experience, learning new processes, and contributing to a mission that truly changes lives.
