I do not speak English and Want to take the Naturalization Test!

You might be able to get an exemption on the English test for Citizenship (Naturalization) test.  The naturalization english test waiver still requires that you know the civics.  You can use an interpreter to help during the english test waiver interview.

Exemptions to the English Test Requirement

You may be eligible for a waiver of the English test if you meet certain requirements. There are two types of exemptions: your age and time as permanent resident, or medical reasons.

• Exemption 1: If you are over 50 years old and have lived in the United States as a Permanent Resident for periods totaling at least 20 years (50/20 exemption); Or,
• Exemption 2: If you are over 55 years old and have lived in the United States as a Permanent Resident for periods totaling at least 15 years (55/15 exemption); Or,
• Exemption 3: If you are over 65 years old and have lived in the United States as a Permanent Resident for periods totaling at least 20 years; Or,
• Exemption 4: If you have a physical or mental disability that prevents you from complying with the English and civics requirements.

Note that your time as a permanent resident does not have to be continuous. As long as your total time after you obtained a green card meets the requirement, you will be eligible for the English test exemption.
