The USCIS Form N-648 is a legitimate paper designed for those who are interested in naturalization and want to demonstrate their knowledge of the English language. To prove their knowledge, candidates need to show they can speak, understand, and read in English. Also, they need to show they know the history, political system, and basic law principles of the USA.
Form N-648 is meant for the candidates who want to request an exception to the civics requirement or the English language proficiency test. For requesting such an exception, a candidate must obtain a developmental, physical, or mental incapacity for a minimum of 12 months.
If candidates want to fill the Form N-648, they need to do this at the time they submit Form N-400 Application for Naturalization with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). USCIS usually requires candidates to complete a Form N-648 together with a Form N-400.
According to the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section (b)(1):
