Staten Island's Arab American community, while smaller than those in Brooklyn or Queens, has established a meaningful presence on the island. Egyptian, Palestinian, and Lebanese families have settled throughout the borough, attracted by its suburban character and relatively affordable single-family homes.
The community is more dispersed than in other boroughs, reflecting Staten Island's car-oriented layout and residential neighborhoods. Arab families here often prioritize homeownership and suburban living, while maintaining connections to the larger Arab communities in Brooklyn and New Jersey.
North Shore neighborhoods like St. George and Stapleton have seen growing immigrant populations in recent years, including Arab families. The area's proximity to the Staten Island Ferry—which provides free transportation to Manhattan—makes it practical for those working in the city.
Staten Island's Arab residents include both longtime residents and recent arrivals. Many professional families have chosen the island for its schools and quiet neighborhoods, creating a community that balances American suburban life with Arab cultural traditions.

“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.”

“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.”
Hana A.

“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.”
Khaled D.

“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.
Astoria, New York
2025
“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.”
