    The key is looking at the Exceptions which in the main says:
    English Language Exemptions

    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).
    There are more caveats at the link given above.

    Yes. With a couple exemptions for older people who have been here a long time, for whom proficiency in English is waved, the rest must demonstrate their basic English proficiency. The theory being that after being here for 15 or 20 years you probably have already picked up enough basic English to get by. :)

    Have you given any consideration to you being the one who should "learn something?" You seem to be the one who is full of misinformation.

    No dear, I'm not the one spreading baloney and I have enough sense to go look things up, unlike many here who just parrot the latest coming from the Trumpies.

    First of all, I am not your "dear." Only one woman on the planet has earned the right to call me "dear" and you are not her. Not by a long shot.

    And, yes, it is you who is spreading baloney, as I pointed out in the posts above. You are full of misinformation.

    Actually post #102, just above Tom's, is a copy and paste from the ICE website.

    You taking me serious or not is of no real concern to me. Your posts are overcome with hyper-emotionalism and assumptions. The assimilation is the requirements. The specific things you must know and do in order to pass the test is the assimilation. Those requirements have been dumbed down over the years in order to accommodate the far left agenda of creating a new voting block but assimilation is expected and necessary. If you don't want to assimilate then go home.

    The soft bigotry of low expectations.

    Got a couple of big fans, here. Three, in fact.

    I have perma-banned saved41199 for the use of vile and filthy language, and am closing this thread. If anyone wants to continue the discussion please feel free to start a new thread.

    Let today we a warning to everyone on the Baptist Board. The use of vile and filthy language will not be tolerated. The Board is, above all, a Christian Board and all posters are expected to insure their language reflects their position in Christ.

    Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
