SAN DIEGO, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — emigration through Cerenadethe leading immigration case management software trusted by 17,000 legal professionals, today announced the launch of Heroes Spotlight: Top paralegals in immigration law. The recognition program was unveiled at the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) annual conference, where nominations officially opened.
Nominations are open now through September 25, 2026. Anyone in the immigration law community can submit a nomination, including attorneys, colleagues, business leaders, clients, and paralegals themselves. Every immigration paralegal is eligible, regardless of company size, type of organization or career stage.

Heroes Spotlight was created to recognize the immigration paralegals who keep cases moving and clients supported. They manage cases, track deadlines, navigate forms, and serve as a constant presence for clients whose futures depend on the outcome. Despite the crucial role they play, recognition for paralegals in the sector remains rare. Heroes Spotlight was built to provide the immigration law community with a way to publicly and collectively celebrate their work.
“Immigration paralegals are the backbone of this profession,” said Phillip Yadidian, CEO of Cerenade. “They manage extraordinary complexity every day, and they do it with a level of dedication and care that deserves to be publicly celebrated. Heroes Spotlight is our commitment to ensuring they receive the recognition they have always deserved.”
After the nomination period, nominees will be listed on a public voting page where the immigration law community will select the nominees. The community vote will take place in October, with winners announced on November 5, 2026.
The winners will be recognized through leading immigration law media outlets and profiled in a special e-book distributed widely to the community.
