Job Description

Pacston is an agency that handles complex documentation for US immigration cases (likely EB-1, EB-2 NIW, or O-1 visas). They are looking for writers who can take complex scientific research or technical achievements and translate them into clear, persuasive prose for US immigration officers. You do not need a law degree; you need strong Academic or Technical Writing skills. You are essentially arguing why a client's work is vital to the United States.

Key Responsibilities

  • Drafting Petitions: Draft and edit technical/legal documents and recommendation letters based on internal materials.
  • Scientific Summary: Read and summarize complex scientific research papers to prove a client's expertise.
  • Revision: Revise documents based on client feedback and strict internal specifications.
  • Policy Compliance: Stay updated on changing US immigration policies.

Requirements

  • Writing Skills: Exceptional Academic or Technical writing skills. You must be able to write "clear, concise prose accessible to a wide audience" (i.e., making rocket science understandable to a layperson).
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree or above.
  • Time Management: Ability to work independently under tight deadlines (Immigration deadlines are non-negotiable).
  • Availability: Must be able to commit to 40 hours per week.

Application Process

  • Online Application: Apply via apply.pacston.com.
  • The Tests: There will be a Grammar Test and a Timed Writing Test. This is the primary filter.

Safety First

  • Never pay for a job application.
  • Do not share sensitive bank info.
  • Verify the client before starting work.
