USCIS has announced exemptions from the English language requirement for older applicants seeking U.S. citizenship. Specifically, individuals who are 50 years or older and have been green card holders for at least 20 years, or those who are 55 years or older with 15 years of permanent residency, are eligible for these exemptions.
Key Details:
- Exemption criteria: Applicants aged 50+ with 20 years of residency or 55+ with 15 years of residency.
- English test exemption applies to the citizenship application process.
- Aimed at easing the path to citizenship for long-term residents.
- This policy reflects USCIS’s commitment to accommodating older immigrants.
This change is expected to significantly benefit older immigrants who may face challenges in meeting the English language requirement. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
