The attorneys behind every
petition we file.
Every engagement at USIA is staffed by attorneys from intake through approval. The names below are the people who draft, sign, and stand behind the work.
Small by design.
Focused by necessity.
Frederic Ollivier
Frederic's practice centers on cases that don't fit a conventional mold — researchers moving between academia and industry, founders without a traditional credentialed pedigree, and professionals whose strongest argument is the work itself rather than a straight-line career narrative. He has spent his career building extraordinary ability and national interest cases from the specific facts in front of him, and has developed a particular reputation for finding a viable theory in records that other counsel pass on as too unconventional.
His practice concentrates on EB-1A self-petitions, EB-2 NIW filings, and E-2 treaty investor matters, with clients spanning research, technology, and finance. He has represented applicants across a wide range of fields and career stages, with particular depth in cases involving non-linear career paths, interdisciplinary research, and clients whose achievements are difficult to reduce to a standard evidentiary template.
Frederic approaches each case as its own argument to be constructed, not a form to be filled in — a philosophy that shapes how the firm evaluates every new matter.
The team that keeps
every case on track.
Our paralegals work directly alongside the attorneys on every file. They manage documentation, deadlines, and client communication — and they know our cases as well as anyone in the firm.
Thomas manages petition documentation and USCIS correspondence across the firm's extraordinary ability and NIW caseload. He has worked in immigration law for eleven years and brings particular depth in RFE response preparation and priority date tracking.
Priya supports the executive transfer and investor practice, managing L-1 and EB-1C petition records, corporate documentation, and regional center filings. She holds a certificate in immigration law from UC Irvine and previously worked in-house at a technology company managing corporate visa programs.
Maria coordinates client intake, case scheduling, and petition logistics across the firm. She is the primary point of contact for clients during active engagements and manages the firm's internal case tracking systems. She is fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
