My approach
Here is a testimonial that summarizes my approach to solving problems:
” [W]hen you are amidst the crisis, sometimes it’s very difficult to see what’s possible and what’s not possible. But then when you see a professional like Ana who comes into the process, explains what needs to be done and actually then leads step by step, then basically it gives you another place to move forward. …
And it’s really, really important not only that the person is very comforting that way, but also they know what’s going on because any kind of misstep, especially when you deal with immigration and universities, could trigger a process. And once something essentially is not done right, then undoing it bureaucratically would have taken too long and that would have been basically risking his life. …
Effectively before I met Ana, I had pretty much given up because the process seemed daunting, both from the university side and then also from immigration side. But when I met Ana, she wonderfully navigated the system very efficiently in a very timely fashion and was able to get the process done for him to come here legally and enroll at the university. “

It is my strong belief that “In every difficulty lies opportunity” as Albert Einstein famously stated and that most opportunities can be harnessed through methodological approach and diligence. That is why I have seized opportunities where others have not and I have prevailed when other attorneys who tried before me had failed to do. It is my philosophy that strategy is solid analytics combined with provident care for the future. Practicing these philosophies allowed me to set myself apart professionally in a manner that transcends borders and my location in New Mexico. Also, these beliefs have allowed me to succeed as an immigrant defying the odds as I came from a war-torn country.
These beliefs are the foundational principles of Ana AT Consulting, LLC and this approach applies fundamentally to all of our employees.
