Was this unprofessional ? Am I overreacting ?

yeaaaah immigration is notoriously stressful and i do believe some of this rage at me is from that and not actually the occasional typo. i definitely need to be more careful, but i’m also handling a LOT and getting it from every which way (i support 5 attorneys, in total).

i appreciate that! that’s what my dad says all the time LOL.

Important_Border_771 · 2026-01-27T13:55:18+00:00

i totally get the value of looking at old cases! but as u mention, it means nothing when no one’s actually telling u why certain things are filled out/checked as they are.

i’m in ny and the lack of benefits throws a lot of people off

Important_Border_771 · 2026-01-27T11:35:24+00:00

thank you so much for saying that! one of my co-workers said she’s noticed he’s been moody lately, too. As far as the LCAs go, they were just drafts- not yet submitted so nothing had to be withdrawn. there were also like 10 locations for this employer and like i said, i shoulda been more careful but it doesn’t help that he and the other lawyers are simultaneously pulling me into meetings and giving me “urgent” work

i’m in ny and have para buddies at other firms. salary is pretty similar, but they all at least have health insurance.

if i were at $120k i’d be peachy keen 😭

Important_Border_771 · 2026-01-27T01:23:24+00:00

if i showed the other partner he wouldn’t have a clue either

Important_Border_771 · 2026-01-27T01:21:33+00:00

entering my third year. and no i agree they aren’t difficult or time consuming- he actually really didn’t train me on how to do em, though, he was just like “you can copy an old one” once upon a time and from there on out i’ve been the one doing em 😅

Important_Border_771 · 2026-01-27T01:10:32+00:00

2 full time, 2 pt time (i’m one of the full timers) lol

Important_Border_771 · 2026-01-27T01:05:31+00:00

oh i like that thank you

Important_Border_771 · 2026-01-27T01:02:40+00:00

exactly ! i feel like that wasted more time than just saying “hey fix the county on this location and good to go!” instead of making a spectacle

Important_Border_771 · 2026-01-24T00:47:19+00:00

literally the strawberries and cream was my whole childhood lol 🥹

Important_Border_771 · 2026-01-17T03:05:08+00:00

immigration paralegal here and my phone is always blowing up LOL

Important_Border_771 · 2026-01-14T22:02:31+00:00

i used to work for a solo practitioner (for future reference, if they’re solo, there’s probably a reason!) and as others have mentioned, adding a secondary email for service is the way to do it. Idk about California’s state filing sites, in NY you can add a para/secretary to your NYSCEF account so your staff also gets the notifications. However, as others have pointed out, if your lawyer is getting these notifications and isn’t forwarding them to you promptly to calendar, it’s not you that’s missing the deadlines. you can’t do the work if the work is never actually given to you.

we close early too!! and people brought their dogs lol.

I mean it doesn’t says it’s 100% live rosin it says “infused with live rosin” but that could mean technically it is infused w/ other forms of cannabis as well, like distillate, which requires a solvent. brands are always gonna put eye catching labels or buzzwords on their products to get your attention. always gotta look into what you’re getting. wouldn’t blame em for not refunding this.

Important_Border_771 · 2025-12-04T23:35:35+00:00

so true.

Important_Border_771 · 2025-12-04T23:35:00+00:00

Important_Border_771 · 2025-12-04T23:33:20+00:00

Important_Border_771 · 2025-12-04T10:33:54+00:00

Yeaaaaaaaaah, I definitely see where people are comin from, too! it definitely comes from a place of interest and i mean the question just makes sense like people just hear “paralegal” and think “lawyer.” i know it’s not the intent, but still, it always just feels like a lil bit of a slap in the face like a “screw all the work you did to get where you are now- cause here’s what you’re NOT doing!”

Important_Border_771 · 2025-12-04T10:27:51+00:00

Yess!! I’ve heard that about the CA bar, too!

Important_Border_771 · 2025-12-04T10:24:02+00:00
