Chiara T.
Senior Immigration Paralegal | EB, O, RFE, MTR, Federal Litigation
Bilingual (English/Spanish) senior immigration paralegal with 5+ years of experience in immigration law, including complex, writing-heavy cases. I work with solo attorneys and small firms, handling their paralegal work end-to-end or joining an existing team. My core focus is on extraordinary ability and high-evidence petitions (EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, O-1), other employment-based petitions (H-1B, L-1, E-2), and federal litigation support, including mandamus actions and complaints for declaratory relief or review of agency action under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Beyond that, I'm fully experienced with family-based petitions, adjustment of status, removal of conditions, naturalization, and related applications. I also regularly support attorneys expanding into employment-based work, helping them navigate EB-1/NIW/O-1 criteria, build evidence strategies, and develop workflows for petition types they haven’t filed before. Additional services: training junior paralegals, reviewing their filings before they go out, and helping firms set up or refine templates, intake forms, and case workflows. Software: Clio, Docketwise, MyCase, INSZoom, Cerenade, Lawmatics, and Asana. Please note I work exclusively under the supervision of licensed immigration attorneys. I don’t represent individuals, but if you need help finding an attorney for US or Spanish immigration, feel free to reach out and I’ll refer you to a qualified attorney.
