Understanding the N-648 and Who Qualifies for it
Are you in the process of applying for U.S. citizenship but struggling to pass the English or civics test due to a medical condition or disability? In that case, you may be entitled to the N-648 form, which grants eligibility for a medical waiver for such tests. However, not everyone can conduct an N-648 evaluation, which is why you should turn to the experts at District Counseling. Read on to learn more.
First and foremost, what is the N-648? It is a medical certification that guarantees certain exemptions to the U.S. citizenship testing requirements. Every applicant who wants to become a U.S. citizen must pass an English and civics exam, but in some cases, individuals with a physical or mental disability may qualify for an exception. The N-648, or “Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions,” is a form completed by a licensed medical practitioner who assesses the applicant’s condition and determines whether they meet the eligibility requirements for such an exemption.
But who can conduct this type of evaluation? This is where District Counseling’s team of experts comes in. Our licensed therapists are trained to perform the necessary evaluations required on the N-648 form. Our evaluation services consist of a comprehensive review of your psychological and medical history, as well as any testing that may be required. We’ll provide you with an in-depth report that assesses your condition and establishes whether you’re eligible for a disability exception on the N-648 form.
Now that you know who can perform the evaluation, you might be wondering if you qualify for the N-648. Generally, to be eligible for the medical waiver, you must have a physical or mental impairment that prevents you from understanding or taking the exam, or that would result in a substantial hardship that would prevent you from passing the exam. This could include conditions such as anxiety, depression, cognitive disorders, physical disabilities, or any other issue that limits your ability to take the citizenship tests. But don’t worry—if you’re unsure about your eligibility, District Counseling’s team can help you determine this.
So, how do we conduct an N-648 evaluation? Our team will review your medical history, including any medications and treatments you’re currently receiving. We’ll also assess your psychological and emotional state using a variety of tests including personality and cognitive testing, behavioral assessments, and more. All of our testing is in accordance with the guidelines issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), so you can be confident that our report complies with their expectations.
In conclusion, if you’re struggling with a physical or mental condition that’s preventing you from meeting the U.S. citizenship testing requirements, the N-648 may be the solution you’ve been looking for. District Counseling’s team of licensed professionals has the expertise and experience to conduct the necessary evaluations and help you get the relief you deserve.
