About The Position

The FV Immigration Attorney is the company's sole attorney responsible for making legal determinations. The role reviews complex family-based visa cases routed by service teams, determines eligibility for sales escalations, advises clients directly on legal questions concerning their filings, and keeps company processes, scripts, templates, and client-facing tools compliant. The attorney exercises independent professional judgment and works with the CEO on legal standards and compliance. The attorney manages their own priorities and review schedule, provides direct advice by call or written note, and returns routed files and sales escalations within one business day.
