U.S. removes barriers to citizenship-test waivers for disabled immigrants
October 27, 2022
The naturalization process has been changed by USCIS to be more accessible for applicants with disabilities. The agency has shortened and simplified the disability waiver used to exempt immigrants with physical, mental, or learning disabilities from the English and civics test requirements.

Another change also allows applicants who did not properly complete their waiver the ability to now resubmit their form with updated information rather than fill out all new paperwork.
