A PERSONAL NOTE
Why I Left USCIS to Fight for You
I spent my early career reviewing petitions from the other side of the desk — deciding who gets approved and who doesn't. I saw too many qualified people denied because of minor documentation errors or poorly articulated cases.
That's why I became an advocate. I bring my insider knowledge to every case, ensuring your petition speaks the language that adjudicators understand. When you work with me, you're not just hiring a lawyer — you're hiring someone who's sat in the chair that will decide your future.
— Alex Rivera, Esq.
The Rivera Difference
USCIS Insider Knowledge
I know the internal evaluation rubric. Your petition will be structured exactly how officers expect to find the evidence.
Bilingual (EN/ES)
Hablo español. I serve a diverse clientele and ensure nothing gets lost in translation — legally or linguistically.
Solo Practitioner, Undivided Focus
No associates. No case managers. I personally handle every petition from intake to approval. You always know who's working on your case.
