Arab community in Jersey City, New Jersey

Jersey City's Arab community is diverse and professional, drawn by the city's proximity to Manhattan combined with more affordable housing. Many Arab residents work in finance, technology, and professional services across the river in New York.

The community is less concentrated than in Paterson or Brooklyn, but Arabic speakers can be found throughout Journal Square, the Heights, and Downtown Jersey City. Egyptian, Palestinian, and Moroccan families have established roots here, and halal restaurants and grocery stores serve the growing population.

Jersey City represents a newer model of Arab American settlement—less the ethnic enclave and more the cosmopolitan professional community. Residents often maintain connections to both the traditional Arab neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Paterson and the diverse, upscale environment of Jersey City.

Verified client
Been in the US seventeen years. Finally applied for citizenship. My lawyer caught an issue with how my name was transliterated on different documents. Fixed it before USCIS could use it as a reason to delay. Oath ceremony was last October. Proud moment.

Sponsored my sister from Ramallah. The process took about four years, which I'm told is actually fast for siblings. My attorney handled all the USCIS correspondence and prepared my sister for her embassy interview. She's here now, living ten minutes away.

My TPS was expiring and I almost missed the re-registration window. Found this service three weeks before the deadline. She rushed my application and I got my new work permit. I would have lost my job without her help.
