Best Answer

US citizenship applicants who are over 50 years old and have lived in the United States for 20 years in lawful permanent resident status, as well as applicants who are over 55 years old and have lived in the United States for at least 15 years in lawful permanent resident status, are exempt from the English language requirements.

US citizenship applicants over 65 years old who have resided in the United States for 20 years as lawful permanent residents are given special consideration in civics knowledge - they must answer 10 out of 25 questions in their own language and need to answer only six questions correctly.

How do you pass citizenship in the US?

When applying for U.S. Citizenship through naturalization, United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) does require a Citizenship test to be taken by all applicants. The Citizenship test will be based on the ability of reading, writing and speaking English, knowledge of American history and the government of the United States. After you have filed the US Citizenship Application (form N-400), USCIS will notify you with a date and time for your fingerprinting appointment. The applicant will be advised to appear at the local Application Support Center at the designated time and date. At this interview the applicant will be given the Citizenship test. You will be notified in the mail the results of your test.
