Explanation of the N-648 Waiver
📌Is that Naturalization test difficult? A Practice Guide to the legal application of medical exemptions：
🌟 What is N-648？
The N-648 is a "medical waiver form," allowing applicants who are unable to pass the English and civics tests due to physical developmental disabilities or mental impairments, to be exempted from the naturalization test requirement.
🔍 Legal Definition and Applicable Conditions of N-648 Waiver
⚠️ Note: "Health Problems" are not enough to be exempted! The client must strictly follow the requirements below:
1️⃣ Medically Documented Issue: Anatomy, physiological, or psychological abnormalities leading to long term/permanent function impairment;
2️⃣ Unable to study or present knowledge: You must prove that the applicant (Even with translation or special education aids) is unable to master English and the citizenship test content
👩Who must sign the form?
‼️ American U.S license physician, osteopath, or clinal psychologist. Other petitioner's are not accepted, so be sure to confirm qualification in advance.
💡Our successful cases:
1️⃣ Exemption for autistic patients: applicants with 10 below 1% an no English proficiency can obtain citizenship without taking the N-648 Test
2️⃣ Exemption for the elderly: those who have lost their learning and memory abilities due to brain degeneration can obtain citizenship without taking the test
3️⃣ Exemption for stroke patients: those who can only breathe independently and move their fingers slightly, can be exempted from the test requirement after passing the H test.
⚠️ Common Misunderstandings:
❌ “Old age/Poor English”≠ automatic exemption! USCIS will investigate the relationship between medical documents and functional impairment. (Simply "poor English" or "no time to study" does not qualify)
❌ “Short term sickness" Does not qualify! The abnormality or medical impairment must last at least 12 months or be a lifetime sickness (8 CFR § 312.2(b)(2)).
❌ Non-licensed physical signature = direct rejection! Only US licensed MD/DO/clinical psychologists (explicitly required by the Immigration Bureau).
律师专业解读N-648豁免
📌入籍考试难？医学豁免的法律实务指南
🌟 什么是N-648？
N-648是一份“医疗豁免表格”，允许因”身体发育障碍或精神损伤”而无法通过英语和公民考试的申请人，豁免入籍考试要求ㅤ
🔍 N-648的法律定义与适用条件
⚠️ 注意：并非“健康问题”即可豁免！必须严格满足以下法律要求：
1️⃣ 医学可验证的损伤：因解剖学、生理或心理异常（后文有我所的成功案例）导致长期/永久性功能损伤；
2️⃣ 无法学习或展示知识：需证明申请人即使通过辅助手段（如翻译、特殊教育）仍无法掌握英语及公民考试内容。ㅤ
👩表格必须由谁签署？
‼️ 美国执照的医师、骨科医师或临床心理学家签名。其他“证明人”无效，务必提前确认资质。ㅤ
💡 我们的成功案例
1️⃣ 自闭症患者豁免：申请人智力低于1%、无英语能力，通过N-648免试入籍；
2️⃣ 高龄老人豁免：因脑退化丧失学习记忆能力，免考直接获批公民身份；
3️⃣ 中风患者豁免：仅能自主呼吸和轻微手指活动，成功免除考试要求。ㅤ
⚠️ 律师划重点：常见误区
❌ “年龄大/英语差”≠自动豁免！移民局会审查医学证据与功能障碍的因果关系。 （单纯“英语不好”“没时间学习”不符合资格）
❌ “短期疾病”不适用！损伤需持续至少12个月或永久性（8 CFR § 312.2(b)(2)）。
❌ 非指定医师签署=直接拒批！仅美国执照的MD/DO/临床心理学家（移民局明确要求）。
