We Are US Citizens, But Married Outside The Country. Do We File For Divorce In Queens Or In The Country Where We Wed?

If you are a legal resident in Queens, then Queens has jurisdiction to dissolve your marriage.

Many people plan destination weddings outside the US, and as long as the marriage was legally performed in the other nation, the US and the State of New York recognize it as valid.
