    You Are Exempt From The English Language Requirement, But Are Still Required To Take The Civics Test If You Are:

    • Age 50 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident (green card holder) in the United States for 20 years (commonly referred to as the “50/20” exception).
      OR
    • Age 55 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident in the United States for 15 years (commonly referred to as the “55/15” exception).
    • If you take the test in your native language, you must bring an interpreter with you to your interview.

In fact I think that literacy in English should be a requirement for all citizenship. Not just because you are born here.
    The history test is about assimilation. I don't want immigrants getting US citizenship unless they want to be US citizens. We don't need a Londonistan.

    I don't understand the hoopla about immigrants learning English. Half of our native-born white citizens can't even speak English these days.

    Here is how I feel about immigration. I love burritos, I love pan fried dumplings, and Indian food gives me the $#@!s so they can go home.

    96% Got some dumb ones wrong. I hesitate on who makes the laws since it seems that's the President these days.
