Hi this situation belongs to my mother in law-
She applied for citizenship in April 12 2010 after three years as a green card holder. (She is married to US citizen)
Anyway the thing is she does not speak any English and at 82 it is near impossible to learn a new language plus she has had 2 strokes. She failed the first interview and the lady gave her another interview September 27th
We located a doctor that was able to fill out the N-648 medical waiver form -based on her age and the two strokes which impaired her ability for remembering long term.
On the day of the interview my husband (her son) went with her.
He said that the interviewer was a total jerk. First my husband said to him - She doesn't speak any English - and his response was "And?" My husband proceeded to give him the medical waiver form he accepted it and shut the door behind him.
He proceeded to interview her in English
1 hour later they came out the room and he told my husband that she did not pass the English test so she failed the citizenship again.
My husband said -"But I gave you the medical waiver she didnt need an English test" He then opens this envelope realizing his mistake and takes her back in again - 1/2 hour later he comes out and tells my husband that she needs to bring in proof of residence from(letters, bills, etc) 2006 till now - proving that she is in fact living with her husband. my husband said it was not stated so on the letter - he said well citizenship based on marriage is different
He told them to bring it back in two weeks.
So her husband takes - all the bills, receipts, lease, tax returns, old letter that he could find - He did not make any copies. He really believes and trust in the US gov. He hands it to a guy (not the interviewer ) - and left- he said he did not get any kind of receipt or anything.
1 month has passed since then and we have not heard anything back from them . I think that the interviewer realized that he made a mistake by being so arrogant and now wants to cover his tracks as to why he went ahead to interview my mom-in law when she had a medical waiver.
Any inputs, opinions, advice are greatly appreciated - This site has helped me a lot with my own immigration needs and I hope it will continue to .
Thanks alot
