This form is intended for applicants for U.S. citizenship who seek an exception to the English and civics testing requirements for Naturalization “because of physical or developmental disability or mental impairment.”

Some applicants filing for the United States Naturalization and can not pass the Citizenship English language exam are able to apply for a waiver exempting them from undertaking such Test . Such applicant must have a True and Valid physical and or Mental / Psychological ailment that makes them unable to retain information in English language that is necessary for them to pass such a test.Lawful permanent resident applying on that basis are required by USCIS to submit Form N-648 completed by a designated civil surgeon. Form N-648 is used to report results of the Naturalization Medical Physical Examination Waiver to USCIS. The examination is required to establish that an applicant has an ailment , illness or Disease that would make it impossible for the Green card Holder to pass The United States English History and Language Examination conducted by USCIS.
