She has successfully represented clients in obtaining nonimmigrant visas (H-1B, TN, E-3, E-2, L-1A/B, J-1 waivers, etc.) and immigrant visas including I-140 petitions for EB-2 Advanced Degree Professionals, EB-2 National Interest Waivers, EB-3 Professionals and Skilled Workers, Schedule A nurses, along with corresponding applications for Adjustment of Status to Lawful Permanent Residence. She also represents corporations and their employees in all stages of the PERM Labor Certification process and advises companies in assessing eligibility and mitigating any risks involved in sponsorship for prospective employees.

Throughout law school, Ari also worked as an in-house immigration paralegal at a publicly traded corporation. During law school, Ari served as a Student Attorney at the Clinic for Asylum, Refugee & Emigrant Services (CARES) and successfully assisted clients in removal proceedings.
