NATIONWIDE - JANUARY 2026 - (USAnews.com) For many immigrants, the American Dream can feel more like a distant hope than an achievable reality. Coming to the United States with limited resources, language barriers, and unfamiliar systems can leave even the most determined individuals overwhelmed. Karely Paredes, Founder & Director of 6SGS Consultants, knows this struggle all too well. She arrived in the U.S. with minimal English and even fewer resources, determined to rebuild her professional life. What she didn't know at the time was that this journey would lead her to create a groundbreaking system designed to save others from the hardships she faced. Today, 6SGS Consultants is helping immigrant families unlock the keys to success, education, career stability, financial strength, and business ownership, all without wasting decades of trial and error.
The Genesis of 6SGS Consultants
6SGS Consultants was founded on a deep understanding of the complexities immigrants face in the U.S. system. Karely’s story is one of resilience. After arriving in the U.S. as an immigrant, she quickly realized that the path to success in this new country was often unclear. With limited support and no clear roadmap, she had to navigate the labyrinth of educational, professional, and financial systems. This experience led her to pursue an MBA, obtain Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification, and build an extensive 21+ year career in government and public service.
Her work impacted over a million people, many of whom were immigrants and vulnerable communities, underscoring her commitment to improving lives. However, it wasn't enough. Karely was driven to create something more. Something that could guide others to success without the same struggles she endured. That vision became 6SGS Consultants and its flagship program, Success in the USA by 6SGS.
Overcoming the System's Barriers
The turning point in Karely's journey came when she realized that too many people, especially immigrants, were unknowingly wasting precious time and resources by making avoidable mistakes. They were working hard but didn't understand the intricacies of the system. From the maze of college admissions to the challenges of securing business funding and building credit, there was no comprehensive, accessible framework to help them navigate it all.
This revelation led Karely to create Success in the USA by 6SGS, a comprehensive, systems-based methodology tailored specifically for immigrants and first-generation families. The program integrates education, business strategy, personal finances, and mindset, helping individuals build sustainable futures from day one. By using Lean Six Sigma methodologies, the system removes common barriers such as language, cultural gaps, and unfamiliarity with the U.S. system. Most importantly, it eliminates trial and error, which is a major source of frustration for many immigrant families.
"I wanted to build something that would give people clarity from the start," Karely shares. "When people understand the system early, they can make informed decisions, avoid mistakes, and ultimately achieve their goals faster."
Generational Change: The Mother-Daughter Case Study
One of the most powerful proofs of 6SGS Consultants’ success is the story of Karely and her daughter Kamila Posada. Kamila’s journey was shaped by the success in the USA by the 6SGS framework, which helped her secure a top-tier university education. Kamila became the first Venezuelan-American to receive the highly competitive Alan and Jane Handler Scholarship, one of the top eight full-ride scholarships in the U.S. She later went on to earn national recognition for her academic and extracurricular achievements.
This mother-daughter duo is not just a case study, they are living proof that the right strategy, when applied early in a young person’s life, can transform generational outcomes. What Karely created for her family, she now offers to other immigrant families through 6SGS Consultants.
"The system is not just about getting ahead; it’s about transforming how we approach life in the U.S. from the ground up," says Karely. "It's about giving immigrants and first-generation families the tools to make intentional decisions, rather than react to challenges after the fact."
What Sets 6SGS Consultants Apart?
What makes 6SGS Consultants stand out from its competitors is its holistic, intersectional approach to immigrant success. Unlike many services that focus on one element, college admissions, business coaching, or financial advice, 6SGS integrates all of these into a single, cohesive framework.
This approach is designed to start early. For most immigrants and first-generation families, the journey to success begins before high school graduation. By introducing strategic planning early, families can ensure they make informed decisions from the start, avoiding costly mistakes that would otherwise compound over time.
"Too many immigrants are left in the dark until they’ve already made costly mistakes," explains Karely. "By introducing strategy early, we allow families to avoid those traps and set themselves up for sustainable success."
The program also includes resources designed specifically for immigrant realities, such as language barriers, cultural differences, and the fear of making mistakes. In fact, 6SGS Consultants recently launched the first bilingual library shop for Success in the USA by 6SGS, a direct-to-the-point resource hub that guides individuals through the complexities of U.S. systems with precision and clarity.
6SGS is not just about advice; it’s about creating a pathway to success that works. The results speak for themselves. Over the last few years, the firm has helped more than 500 immigrants secure stable careers, supported over 50 businesses, and helped students earn more than $800,000 in scholarships. These numbers are not mere statistics, they are real people whose lives have been changed by a framework designed for long-term success.
6SGS Consultants Named Best Consultancy for Immigrant Success in the USA of 2026
6SGS Consultants has been officially recognized by Best of Best Review as the Best Consultancy for Immigrant Success in the USA of 2026, a distinction that underscores the firm’s innovative, systems-based approach to helping immigrant and first-generation families thrive. The award highlights 6SGS’s unique integration of education planning, career strategy, business development, and financial literacy into one cohesive framework—eliminating years of costly trial and error. Judges cited the firm’s measurable outcomes, bilingual resources, and commitment to long-term, generational impact as key factors setting it apart in the immigrant success space.
The Future of Immigrant Success
6SGS Consultants’ impact continues to grow, driven by a powerful mission to replace confusion with clarity, panic with preparation, and trial and error with intentional strategy. But the work is far from over. With a team of dedicated professionals and a growing base of supporters, 6SGS is working to expand its reach and continue to empower immigrant and first-generation families across the U.S.
The next phase for 6SGS involves advocating for awards that recognize the transformational impact the brand has had on immigrant communities. Karely has set her sights on prestigious awards, including the Impact Award for Immigrant Leadership & Systems Innovation and the Fast Company Best Innovation in Education & Social Impact Award, to further validate the brand’s approach.
“We want our work to be recognized not just for its innovation but for its real-world impact,” Karely says. “This isn’t about awards for the sake of recognition; it’s about proving that when you understand the system early, you can change the trajectory of your life.”
