Dr. Ashok Mehta is a board-certified internal medicine physician and USCIS-designated civil surgeon.

Question 2

What is the N-648 naturalization medical certification?

Accepted Answer

Form N-648 is a USCIS medical certification that waives the English language and/or U.S. civics requirements for naturalization applicants who, due to a physical, developmental, or mental impairment expected to last 12 months or longer, are unable to learn or demonstrate that knowledge.

Question 3

Who qualifies for an N-648 disability exception?

Accepted Answer

Common qualifying conditions include moderate-to-severe dementia, intellectual disability, severe traumatic brain injury, major neurocognitive disorders, severe PTSD, schizophrenia, and other conditions that medically prevent learning English or civics. Eligibility is decided case-by-case based on medical evidence.

Question 4

What documentation should I bring to my N-648 visit?

Accepted Answer

Bring a government-issued photo ID, the latest blank N-648 form, all relevant medical records (specialist notes, neuropsych testing, psychiatric records, hospital discharge summaries, imaging, medication lists), and the contact info of any treating providers. The more documentation, the stronger the certification.

Question 5

Most N-648 evaluations take 45–60 minutes, plus additional time for records review beforehand. We typically need to review your records before your appointment, so please call ahead to schedule.

Question 6

How long is the N-648 valid?
