Remote immigration attorneys advise and represent clients on visas, green cards, naturalization, asylum, and removal defense — assessing eligibility, building legal arguments, and preparing petitions for USCIS, immigration courts, and consulates. Because so much immigration work is filing- and document-driven, it's one of the most remote-friendly areas of law, with attorneys handling cases from home for firms and companies nationwide.
Remote immigration roles split broadly between business immigration (employment-based visas and green cards for companies and their employees) and family or humanitarian immigration (family petitions, asylum, and removal defense). Strong candidates combine command of immigration law and USCIS procedure with clear client communication; bilingual ability — especially Spanish — is often valued. Most postings require a JD and active bar admission. The roles below are updated daily and include only positions employers advertised as remote.
Yes — every role posted on this site was advertised as remote by the employer. That's our single inclusion criterion: if a position wasn't presented as remote, it doesn't get listed, so every immigration attorney role here is a remote-advertised one. Please note that while we do our best to keep listings accurate, employers occasionally make mistakes in their own postings, so in rare cases a role advertised as remote may turn out not to be — we always recommend confirming the arrangement directly with the employer before you apply.
Immigration attorneys assess a client's eligibility, choose the right visa or form of relief, prepare and file petitions with USCIS (and represent clients before immigration courts or consulates where needed), respond to requests for evidence, and counsel individuals or companies on immigration strategy and compliance.
Immigration law is federal, so an attorney admitted and in good standing in any US state can generally practice immigration law nationwide — one reason it's so remote-friendly. You still need active bar admission somewhere, and some employers prefer particular states for other reasons, so confirm requirements in the listing.
Compensation varies by experience and whether the role is business or family immigration, but remote immigration attorney roles in the US commonly range from around $80,000 to $160,000+ in base salary, with senior and business-immigration specialists at the higher end. Individual postings list compensation where the employer provides it.
Business (employment-based) immigration handles work visas like H-1B, L-1, and O-1 and employment green cards, usually for company clients. Family and humanitarian immigration covers family petitions, asylum, and removal defense for individuals. The skills overlap but the clients, filings, and pace differ; many listings specify which side they need.
Many do, but not all. Some employers hire attorneys with general litigation or other experience and train them on immigration procedure, while others want direct business- or family-immigration casework. Read each posting for the specific requirements.
