Queens is the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world, and its Arab community reflects that diversity. Unlike the more concentrated communities in Brooklyn or Dearborn, Queens' Arab population is spread across multiple neighborhoods and represents the full geographic range of the Arab world.
Astoria has emerged as the primary Arab hub in Queens, particularly for Egyptian and North African immigrants. Steinway Street is lined with Egyptian restaurants, hookah lounges, and grocery stores. The neighborhood has a distinctly cosmopolitan feel, with Arabic mixing with Greek, Brazilian, and a dozen other languages on any given block.
Jackson Heights also hosts a growing Arab population, often mixed with South Asian communities. The neighborhood's affordable housing and excellent transit connections make it attractive to new immigrants.
What distinguishes Queens' Arab community is its professional character. Many Arab residents work in healthcare, finance, and technology. The borough has a higher concentration of Arab professionals and students compared to the more working-class communities in Brooklyn or New Jersey.

Testimonials
Read what Arab American families in Queens say about our Arabic-speaking immigration attorneys.
“Employment-based green card through my hospital job. Took longer than I hoped, about two and a half years total, but she kept me updated throughout and handled an RFE that could have derailed everything. Got my card last spring.”

“Applied for TPS right when Yemen got designated. She filed everything same week I contacted her. Work permit came through in about ten weeks. Quick and efficient.”

“I speak Arabic but my English still isn't great. My lawyer arranged for me to take the citizenship test in Arabic under the 50/20 rule. Didn't even know that was an option. Passed easily.”

“We applied for asylum in 2021. Long wait for the interview but when it finally came, we were prepared. My lawyer had gone through every possible question with us. Judge approved our case the same day as the hearing. We're applying for green cards now.”
Noura F.

“ICE arrested me after a traffic stop in Bay Ridge. My lawyer filed a bond motion and got me released within a week. Then she fought the removal case for fourteen months. Judge granted cancellation of removal. My kids were born here — I couldn't leave them.”
Rami T.

“I'd been a green card holder for twelve years and was afraid to apply for citizenship because of an old misdemeanor. My lawyer reviewed my record, explained the moral character requirements, and prepared everything. Passed my interview with no issues. Voted for the first time last November.”
