Question for an immigration paralegal about becoming an immigration paralegal?
I am currently in a paralegal program where I am currently taking immigration law. I am very interested in getting into the field because it seems very interesting, the paralegals do most of the work ( I like to be kept busy) and you can work anywhere in the country because it is based on Federal law.
I am wondering how you got into the field and any other knowledge you can share to assist me do the same.
Thanks!

I am not an immigration paralegal but I am a paralegal. I started out as a secretary for Legal Aid. I was taught so much, including immigration, family law, landlord tenant, consumer law, administrative law. Legal aid helps with immigration matters, so does Catholic Social Services in Tucson, AZ. Don't go to privately owned paralegal document services, they just bleed people for a lot of money. Try the non-profits first, that's more rewarding.

A paralegal might desire to artwork under the supervision of an criminal expert, can not supply criminal suggestion and can in easy terms look on behalf of yet another at specific styles of administratvie hearings. i'm a paralegal, and characteristic been for over 2 years now. Gotta permit you already know, the pay isn't that large
