This form is used to apply for an exemption from the English language requirements, civics, or both due to a physical or developmental disability or mental impairment, the language requirement and civics test are normally part of becoming a U.S. citizen. This revised form is shorter and easier to fill out and will allow a medical professional to complete the form during a telehealth appointment!
