USCIS recently modified its Policy Manual regarding adjudication of the Form N-648, disability waiver for the English language and civics requirements for naturalization. Earlier guidance greatly expanded the grounds for denying an N-648 application and made it more difficult for disabled applicants seeking to naturalize. The most recent changes that took effect on Dec. 4, 2020, are minor updates that bring the guidance in line with the latest edition of the N-648.
