My mom is around 74 and half years old and has been in us the last five years. She is green card holder and we want to apply for citizenship. She does not know any English at all!
Is she exempt from English exam? Is there any possibility that we can use for to waive that requirement?
Thank you for the time and help
Unfortunately she does not meet the exemptions as she has not been here long enough. They are
-Age 50 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident (Green Card holder) in the United States for 20 years (commonly referred to as the “50/20” exception).
OR
-Age 55 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident in the United States for 15 years (commonly referred to as the “55/15” exception).
Almost every town has a local community center, adult education arm of high school system or some other public entity that gives English as a second language classes for naturalization and helps teach the civics test questions too, and these classes are very often free.
