MEET YOUR ATTORNEY
From the Other Side of the Desk
I spent years reviewing petitions as a USCIS officer. Now I use that same scrutiny to build cases that don't just meet the standard — they exceed it.
Alex Rivera, Esq.
Immigration Attorney | Former USCIS Adjudicator | Washington, D.C.
After graduating from Georgetown University Law Center, I began my career at USCIS, where I spent four years adjudicating immigration petitions. I reviewed H-1B applications, investor visa cases, and family-based petitions — seeing firsthand what separated approvals from denials.
That insider experience fundamentally shapes how I practice today. I don't guess what USCIS is looking for — I know. Every petition I file is built to anticipate the adjudicator's questions before they're asked.
As a solo practitioner, I offer something large firms can't: undivided personal attention. I don't hand your case to a paralegal. YOU are my client, and your success is my reputation.
