Exceptions to the Educational Requirements for Naturalization for Certain Applicants

The Immigration and Naturalization Service (the Service) is amending its regulation relating to the educational requirements for naturalization of eligible applicants. This is necessary to implement changes to section 312 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) as amended by the Technical Corrections Act of 1994. The amendment provides an exemption from the requirements of demonstrating an understanding of the English language, including an ability to read, write, and speak words in ordinary usage, and of demonstrating a knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of the history, and of the principles and form of government of the United States, for certain applicants who are unable to comply with both requirements because they possess a ``physical or developmental disability'' or a ``mental impairment.''
