Contract Immigration Attorney

Immigration Attorney – Individual Practice (Contract) 📍 Remote (U.S.-based) | Contract / 1099 | Pay Per Case | $200K–$300K+ potential Minimum 4 years' experience as a practicing attorney This role is built for attorneys who are serious about their craft and serious about what they earn — with the experience to take real ownership from day one. Manifest Law is engaging contract Immigration Attorneys for our individual practice. You'll work on individual immigration matters — O-1, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, H-1B, family-based, marriage-based — with caseload complexity and autonomy that scales with your experience. You're paid per case, not per hour or per year. What doesn't scale is the standard. What makes this different: At most firms, you spend a significant portion of your time on coordination — chasing documents, following up on emails, tracking where a case stands across six different threads. That's unbilled time you never get back. At Manifest, the platform handles that: - Automated workflows manage attorney ↔ paralegal ↔ client handoffs so you're never the bottleneck - Smart draft tracking evaluates your filings against quality benchmarks and decision patterns — you get a feedback loop that actually makes you better - Unified context hub pulls every email, meeting note, and portal update into one place — full case context, always, without digging. - You practice law. The platform handles the rest — so every hour you put in goes toward billable, case-advancing work. How the model works: This is pay-per-case. You set your own caseload intensity, and your earnings move with it. Take a focused, selective docket and earn a strong, predictable per-case income. Run an aggressive docket and your earnings climb fast — attorneys working at volume can reach $200K–$300K+. The lever is yours — with one condition: every case you take is worked at Manifest's standard. Aggressive SLAs, rigorous legal quality, client communication that earns loyalty. Volume never substitutes for quality here. The path is explicit: - Experienced attorneys grow into full case ownership and sharpen their client instincts - Senior attorneys operate with full autonomy, take on higher-complexity (higher-fee) matters, and mentor colleagues - The destination, for attorneys who want it, is Practice Ownership — your own team, your own book, backed by the platform — earning $200K–$1M+ What we're looking for: Mid-Level (4–6 years):

• Experience with employment-based or extraordinary ability petitions, comfort with direct client communication, and the drive to take real ownership of your matters. Senior (6+ years):
• Deep expertise in O-1, EB-1A, and/or EB-2 NIW strategy, the ability to mentor junior attorneys, and the appetite to run a high-volume, high-quality docket. Across all levels, we require: - Minimum 4 years' experience as a practicing attorney - J.D. and active U.S. bar admission - Full commitment to Manifest's SLAs and quality standards — non-negotiable - Self-motivation and ownership mindset - A communication standard clients notice and remember -
• Ability to work as an independent contractor (1099)
