In particular, representing Chinese. I am fluent in Mandarin. My Chinese friends have urged me to consider immigration law. I have been doing taxes for years and am thinking about switching. What groundwork or basics should one follow? Does one need to live/work in a huge city? Is there any money in it?
Sincere advice appreciated, thanks.

Any suggestions re learning immigration law? Law school course vs. CLE?

First, if you're already a lawyer, learn immigration law. There are many supposed professional immigration attorneys who don't know the INA well, and give very bad advice to their clients. If you aren't a lawyer, either get a law degree or become a paralegal and find a job in an immigration attorney's office. A Chinese speaker would be welcome in many such offices.
You will need to live and work where your clients are. Of course there's money in immigration law.
