N-648 Disability Waivers

N-648 Disability Waivers

An N-648 psychological evaluation provides clinical documentation when a medical, cognitive, or mental health condition prevents an applicant from meeting the English and civics testing requirements for U.S. citizenship. The evaluation explores how psychiatric, neurological, or cognitive impairments affect learning, memory, communication, or concentration, and offers USCIS a credible, evidence-based explanation of why the applicant is unable to complete the exam requirements.

Common Concerns

Memory loss, learning disabilities, intellectual impairments, dementia, severe anxiety, depression, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, communication difficulties, and other conditions that limit the ability to learn or retain information.

What To Expect

A confidential interview, relevant cognitive and psychological testing, and a clear clinical report that explains how the condition interferes with the applicant’s ability to meet USCIS testing requirements, while providing supportive documentation for the waiver request.
