The Position

The Case Coordinator provides operational and administrative support to attorneys, senior case managers, and case managers throughout the immigration case lifecycle. This role handles foundational tasks that keep cases moving — creating and maintaining records in the firm's case management system, entering client data from source documents, assembling filing packages, and coordinating physical mailings. The position is designed to free SCMs and CMs to focus on legal analysis, form drafting, and client communication by ensuring that administrative and data-entry work is handled upstream.

This is a great opportunity for someone who is interested in taking the next step in building a career in immigration law and gaining hands-on exposure to every phase of the case preparation process. You will work closely with experienced team members, build familiarity with employment-based immigration processes, and develop the organizational and technical skills that support long-term success and a clear growth path to a CM position for high performers.
What You’ll Do:
Record Creation & Case Setup

- Create new party records (clients, employers, signatories) in EPICENTER upon matter opening, ensuring all foundational fields are populated accurately.

- Create and configure new matter records, linking the correct employer, employer signatory, attorney of record, and client records.

- Verify that employer records contain current data (company name, FEIN, address, business type, year established) and flag records that need annual updates (employee count, financials).

- Link case signatories and HR contacts to the appropriate matter records before form drafting begins.

Data Entry & Document Processing

- Enter client biographical data into EPICENTER from uploaded source documents, including passport information, I-94 numbers (retrieved from the CBP website), visa expiration dates, A-numbers, and Social Security numbers.

- Transcribe key data from client Word-based questionnaires into the appropriate EPICENTER fields (job title, salary, worksite address, third-party worksite information) so that form-generation tools can auto-populate correctly.

- Review uploaded client documents for completeness and organize them into the correct folders within the case management platform.

- Retrieve I-94 records from the CBP website and enter arrival/departure data into the system.

- Maintain and update attorney records in EPICENTER when attorneys are onboarded or when bar information chang
