Where things stood.
Landing in the United States is not one problem, it is fifty small ones: where to live, how to find work, which paperwork matters this month, who to trust for advice, and where your community already is.
Arabvesta covers that whole first chapter in one bilingual app — housing and job resources, visa and legal guidance, English and skills learning, community groups, vetted experts, and offers for newcomers.
What we were asked to solve.
A newcomer's questions move fast — housing in week one, a bank account in week two, a job in month two. A static directory goes stale immediately; the product had to stay useful as the member's situation changes.
Trust is the whole product. Advice from an anonymous forum is worth very little when what is at stake is your status, your lease, or your first job — so the experts and the offers had to be curated rather than crowdsourced.
How we built it.
We structured the app around three things a newcomer actually needs: people in the same situation, someone who knows the answer, and a break on the cost of starting over — groups, experts, and offers.
Groups are organised around the life a member is building rather than by topic — residents by region, careers and resources, business owners, mosques — so joining the right one is obvious instead of a browse.
On the engineering side a single .NET backend on Azure serves the Flutter app and a React operations dashboard, with Firebase for identity and remote config, so the team ships weekly without waiting on store review.
What shipped.
Community groups
Regional resident networks, career and resource circles, business-owner groups, and places of worship — a space to ask questions and share what actually worked.
Vetted experts
Immigration services, lawyers, and professionals a member can reach directly — curated, because anonymous advice is worth little at these stakes.
Offers for newcomers
Discounts from businesses that serve the community, browsable by category, so the cost of starting over comes down.
Guidance that follows the journey
Visa routes for tourism, work, study, and medical travel, plus housing, jobs, and English and skills learning — surfaced by where the member is, not as one long list.
One account, three platforms
iOS, Android, and web share a single profile, so a member can start on a phone and carry on from a laptop.
